The image shows a village with a stone tower at its center and thatched houses lined up beyond it. The scene is depicted with fine etching strokes, creating texture and shadow. The color palette is monochrome, with black ink on light paper. In the foreground, there is a pond with a figure fishing, and a boat nearby. In the background, there are trees, with birds flying in the sky.
