This painting shows a boat on the water, loaded with cone-shaped sugar funnels. The boat is small and surrounded by other vessels. It's interesting that this painting is one of many made to show different types of boats on the Pearl River. This painting can be compared to works that use a specific technique to create depth and contrast, like chiaroscuro.
