The painting is a surreal landscape with a large, red moon in the background. The moon is surrounded by clouds and stars, and its reflection is cast on the water below. In the foreground of the painting, a lone figure stands on the shore of the water, silhouetted against the moon. The figure is wearing a long coat and a hat, and they are carrying a staff. The painting is full of mystery and wonder, and it invites viewers to imagine what is happening in the scene.
