Ink wash fan painting of a mountainous landscape with dense trees, a small hut, and a larger building
Detailed Description
The image is an ink wash painting on a fan, presented in a semi-circular format. The paper has an aged, light brown or tan hue, with visible vertical creases from the fan's structure. The landscape depicts a dense, mountainous scene rendered in varying shades of black and gray ink. On the far left, a tall, jagged mountain rises prominently, its slopes textured with vertical strokes suggesting rock formations and sparse vegetation. Further right, another large mountain dominates the upper center, its peak rounded and covered with small, dark dots indicating trees. Between these two large mountains, and extending across the middle ground, are numerous trees. Many are tall and slender with dark, dense foliage, resembling pines, while others have lighter, more feathery canopies. A small, simple hut with a peaked roof is nestled among the trees in the central valley. To the right, the landscape continues with rolling hills and mountains receding into the background. A larger building, possibly a house or temple complex, with multiple roofs and walls, is visible among a cluster of trees on a lower slope on the right side. The foreground features undulating terrain with scattered rocks and vegetation. In the upper left quadrant, there are two vertical lines of characters written in black ink. The top line reads "戊子不盡日". Below it, the second line reads "士山寫". Below these characters, a square red seal impression is visible.
