About this work
Depicts a ferryboat with four passengers and boatman crossing a stream, and a trail bordered by a fence. On the trail are two peasants carrying bundles. As the trail continues, it passes a farm building with one figure in it, pine trees, and pink flowering trees. The trail crosses over a stream on a footbridge and continues up into mountains, where it leads to a temple. Six seals, signature, no inscriptions or labels.
