Brief Description
Black and white landscape: a figure on a cliff, misty mountains, trees, and an animal-drawn cart
Detailed Description
This vertical black and white image depicts a vast, misty landscape. The upper two-thirds of the image are dominated by towering, dark mountains with soft, rounded peaks, partially obscured by atmospheric haze. On the far left, a cluster of smaller, darker trees stands on a lower mountain ridge. To the right, a large, gnarled tree trunk rises vertically from the middle ground, its branches extending upwards and to the left. Below this tree, a figure in light-colored robes sits on a prominent, jagged cliff edge, facing towards the left and looking out over the scene. The cliff drops sharply below the figure, with faint vertical lines suggesting a waterfall or steep descent. The lower third of the image reveals a valley or lower plain, also shrouded in mist, with indistinct shapes that could be distant buildings or clusters of trees. In the lower right corner, a two-wheeled cart with a covered canopy is pulled by an animal, possibly an ox, along a winding path that extends from the bottom edge towards the left. The entire scene is composed of varying shades of black and white, which define the forms and suggest depth.
