Brief Description
Misty mountain landscape on a fan, with a river, flying birds, trees, and a building
Detailed Description
The artwork is a fan-shaped painting, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, depicting a landscape scene. Faint vertical lines are visible across the surface, suggesting the structure of a folded fan. The color palette is predominantly muted, featuring greens, browns, grays, and light blues against a creamy off-white background. On the left side, a wide body of water, possibly a river or lake, stretches horizontally across the middle ground. A small, dark, oval-shaped boat floats on the water. Above the water, a flock of approximately ten small, light-colored birds flies in a V-formation towards the left. In the far distance, light brown and blue-gray mountains rise faintly. The immediate foreground on the left shows sparse, light green vegetation. The right side of the painting features a more detailed and densely vegetated area. A cluster of trees, some with bare branches, others with dark green foliage, and a few with delicate pink blossoms, surrounds a traditional-style building. The building has a light-colored roof and light-colored walls, nestled into the hillside. Behind this cluster of trees and the building, a prominent, rounded mountain covered in varying shades of green rises towards the upper right. White, cloud-like forms or mist partially obscure the lower slopes and parts of the mountain. Further back, lighter, hazy mountains are visible. In the upper right quadrant, there is a column of black calligraphic text, followed by a smaller, square red seal impression below it. The text reads: "兩岸溪流七八家，西風落葉滿天涯。戊辰九秋 王匡"
