This painting shows a quiet riverbank with two people near the water. One stands on the shore, holding something, while the other floats in a small boat. Behind them is a large, sandy-colored temple with carved figures on its roof, and palm trees dot the background. The temple looks old and weathered, with a mix of rough stone and smooth carvings. The artist used soft colors and light brushstrokes to capture the scene. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
