Brief Description
A fan-shaped landscape scene with mountains, trees, a building, and a body of water
Detailed Description
A fan-shaped artwork shows a landscape in black and gray tones on a light brown ground. The composition is divided into distinct layers. In the background, tall, angular mountains with textured slopes stretch across the upper portion of the fan, their peaks fading into the distance. Below these, a wide, flat expanse, possibly a body of water or a river valley, extends from left to right, marked by horizontal brushstrokes. In the mid-ground, on the right side, a dense cluster of trees with varied foliage and trunks rises, some appearing as tall pines, others as bushier deciduous trees. Nestled among these trees, near the edge of the flat expanse, is a small, two-story building with a dark, peaked roof and visible structural elements. To the left of the central trees, a series of rounded, lower hills or mounds are depicted. The upper left and upper right sections of the fan contain black calligraphic text arranged in vertical columns. A small, square red seal is visible in the upper left corner, beneath some of the calligraphy.
