Ink wash landscape painting on a fan, depicting mountains, trees, a pavilion, and small figures
Detailed Description
An ink wash landscape painting on a light tan, fan-shaped surface depicts a mountainous scene with trees, water, and human structures. In the background, layered mountains rise, some appearing hazy with lighter ink washes. Below these, a wide body of water or river stretches across the middle ground, with faint suggestions of land or islands on its far bank. The mid-ground features rolling hills densely covered with various trees, including tall, dark pines and lighter, more textured foliage. A small, open-sided pavilion with a dark, peaked roof is nestled among trees on a hillside to the right of the center. A winding path or bridge crosses a small stream or indentation in the lower mid-ground, leading towards the pavilion. Small figures are visible: one near the pavilion, another on a path in the upper mid-distance, and possibly one in a small boat on the water. The foreground consists of more trees, rocks, and textured ground. On the far left, several lines of black calligraphic text are present, followed by a square red seal impression. The artwork is rendered in various shades of black and gray ink, creating a monochromatic effect on the light tan, fan-shaped surface.
