The God of Good Fortune Jurōjin by Soga Shōhaku depicts an old, bald man with a long white beard wearing a green robe, sitting in a boat. The man is leaning on his right arm, which rests on the side of the boat. His right hand is near a white deer with antlers. The boat floats on wavy water with a pine tree on the right and a bird flying above. The painting is in muted colors, primarily shades of green, white, and brown. A brown border surrounds the artwork.
