This print shows a quiet winter scene. Snow covers hills and rooftops. A river runs through the middle, with a small boat carrying two people. Trees stand bare, except for a few with red berries. In the distance, a pavilion sits near a mountain. The artist used thin lines to build up shadows. The red seal in the top right corner is the only splash of color. Look up cross-hatching to see how this shading works.
