Description: Beneath heavy clouds, steep and furrowed mountainsides drop to a broad river, and close to the near bank a junk moves along under a tall sail stiffened with bamboo battens; its low hull sits deep in the water. The gorge appears to be one of the gorges of the upper Yangtze, where junks carried the trade of Sichuan through rapids and narrows.
