A daylight scene on the Li River in Guilin, China, depicts a series of bamboo rafts moored near a concrete bank. A woman in the foreground, dressed in a light-colored traditional Chinese gown, stands on a bamboo raft, holding a long, dark stringed instrument, possibly a guqin. To her left, a dark cormorant perches on a circular fishing net, which is attached to another bamboo raft alongside a wicker basket. To the woman's right, a man wearing a conical straw hat and plaid shirt sits on a separate bamboo raft, attending to fishing nets and baskets. The river, with clear, shallow water revealing the riverbed near the bank, extends into the mid-ground where distant boats are visible. The background is dominated by numerous steep, conical karst mountains under a clear blue sky, with lush green vegetation on the riverbanks and mountain slopes.
