This painting shows a busy river scene with lots of people on boats. Men and women in colorful clothes sit, talk, and play music. Some boats have lanterns hanging over them. The background has hills and more boats in the distance. Notice how the artist used flat colors and simple shapes to show movement. The people look lively, even though their faces are stylized. Look up boat, river next to see more art about water travel.
