This painting presents a flock of wild geese alighting on a sandy wetland on an autumn evening. In the foreground lies a heap of stones with a pair of pine trees, while in the background are rising mountain ridges depicted in simple brush strokes. The painting exudes the atmosphere of a “level-distance” painting of the Tang Dynasty, provoking a sense of tension by combining a horizontal composition with the perpendicular element provided by two pine trees standing on a sandy hill.
