This hanging scroll depicts three white chrysanthemums. The flowers form a dynamic arc, and were executed with powerful, rapid brushstrokes. The contrast between the thin lines of the petals of the flowers and the dark thick strokes made with the side of the brush suggesting the leaves and stalks of the plants creates the main visual drama of the painting.

As the title suggests, this hanging scroll depicts a river landscape in the snow. The painting is suspended in two different shades of blue patterned silk with gold accents. In the foreground of the painting, there are three figures hauling a covered boat. The people are off to the left side while the boat hangs over a small precipice on the right. Just beyond them is the large river. Beyond that are snowy mountaintops partially obscured by mist and clouds. There is a signature on the bottom right followed by two red seals.
