A great mountain fills the right side of the print. Its flanks are a warm brick red, with white snow running down in jagged streaks. A band of tiny dark pines covers the lower slope and fades into pale mist at the bottom left.

Above, the indigo sky is patterned with rows of cream clouds in rippling, rhythmic shapes. The colours are flat and bold, and the wood grain shows faintly in the red. A small cartouche of calligraphy and a red seal sit in the upper and lower left corners.
