The image depicts a serene nighttime scene near a river, with a small boatman navigating calm waters and reflections of soft lantern lights shimmering on the surface. Silhouetted figures cross an arched wooden bridge, while elegant egrets forage near the water’s edge, surrounded by gentle, rustling trees.
