A painting depicting an overhead view of a pond covered with lush green lotus leaves. The lotus leaves are stacked layer upon layer, and through the gaps between them, red carp can be seen swimming in the water. The scene is well-lit by the sun, and the lotus leaves create reflections on the water's surface, adding depth to the picture. There are two people in a small boat, rowing with wooden oars in the water. This artwork, in the style of John Singer Sargent, conveys a sense of tranquility and harmony between nature and human presence.
