Brief Description
Monochromatic ink painting on a fan: a landscape with a boat, dense trees, and distant mountains
Detailed Description
A monochromatic ink painting on a light brown fan depicts a landscape. A dense cluster of trees with dark, textured foliage and lighter, visible trunks extends from the bottom edge upwards on the central left. To the right of these trees, a body of water stretches across the midground, rendered with subtle horizontal brushstrokes. A small, narrow boat with a single, indistinct figure is positioned on the water, slightly to the right of the central tree mass. Further to the right, a section of land or bank is suggested by vertical brushstrokes, possibly representing reeds or tall grasses. In the far right, a rounded mountain peak rises, depicted with lighter ink washes, blending into the light brown background. The left side of the painting shows more open water with a faint, distant shoreline. The background is a uniform light brown, matching the fan's base color. In the bottom right corner, there is a block of vertical black text, followed by a square red seal.
