A long, narrow piece of artwork on beige paper shows a scene of a boat on water. The boat is in the bottom right corner and faces left. A young woman wearing a kimono with a red and white pattern stands at the back of the boat and uses a long pole to push off the shore. Two women sit in the boat to her left. The woman on the left wears a kimono with a red and white pattern. The woman on the right wears a white kimono with a patterned obi. She faces the seated woman and holds a closed parasol. A riverbank with an embankment, trees, and a leafless tree is in the background. There are several lines of Japanese writing on the left side.
