A hanging scroll in muted colors depicts a man with light skin tone riding a carp through undulating gray spirals of water. He faces slightly to our left, having a wispy beard and wearing a light tan robe with jagged ribbons trailing behind. Below and to our right, a second fish's tail emerges from churning washes. Muted tan and gray ink fill the background. Two red seals mark the corner.
