In this work, a lifelike carp is depicted immersed in cool water. In recent years, Rosetsu has been generalized as an "eccentric painter", however, the impact and legacy of his teacher, Maruyama Ōkyo is remarkable. A work of great realism, a single carp is depicted alongside a gentle stream. Simple yet lifelike, this work reflects Rosetsu's talent and his quick inheritance of the Maruyama school "realism".
