Watercolour of an ornate long boat with a peacock-shaped prow and dragon-headed stern, rowers under a domed canopy, on blue water.

Long Boat with Peacock Prow and Domed Canopy

A watercolour shows a long ornamental boat on blue water, its prow carved as a green-and-blue peacock and its stern ending in a green dragon head. Orange-robed rowers pull oars beneath a small domed canopy, while a standing steersman and a red pennant on a tall pole complete the scene.
