This painting depicts an immortal, with his chest and abdomen exposed, as he seemingly strides forward. Except for the few fine outlines to suggest the facial features, ears, and chest, the rest of the figure is rendered with large swaths of wet ink. The abbreviated and unrestrained brushwork is done in a style that has rich Chan (禪) overtones.
