This painting shows us also a strange-looking boat of which I have not any information. By this boat is given: The tenth scene (lines 154-163) is of Cao searching in vain for the nymph from a boat. This is depicted as a substantial double-decked boat, travelling from right to left, powered by peculiar sails. Cao and two of his servants are shown on the top deck, and its two crew are shown on the outer lower deck

By the stamp issues is give:
The painting of "Goddess of the River Luo" was drawn by the famous artist Gu Kaizhi (348 - 409) of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is about six meters in length and was created in ink with light color on a silk scroll. The theme of the painting came from the namesake poetic prose written by Cao Zhi (192 - 232), from Wei of the Three Kingdoms. Cao Zhi described his love as Luoshen (Goddess of the River Luo), expressing his strong feeling for her. Based on the description of the prose, the painting vividly portrays the artistic mood in three parts. Gu's style of painting is bold, natural and easy. Gu Kaizhi, styling himself Changkang, was born in Wuxi in today's Jiangsu Province. He was a versatile man who was good at painting, and figure painting in particular. His paintings are life-like and he is known for his brilliant finishing touches. "Goddess of the River Luo" is one of his masterpieces.
