Detailed Description
A vertical ink and wash painting shows a towering, misty mountain landscape. The upper left corner features a column of dark, vertical calligraphy, with a red seal below it. Below the calligraphy, a series of tall, layered mountains dominates the scene, rendered in shades of light gray and blue-gray. Darker ink defines their contours, and small clusters of trees appear on their peaks and slopes. On the far right, a thin, white waterfall cascades down a mountain face, disappearing into a layer of white mist that stretches across the middle of the composition. Within this central band of mist, several small buildings with dark roofs are visible, appearing to float on or emerge from the clouds. Below this mist, more rounded, layered mountains rise, also dotted with small trees. In the lower third of the painting, two prominent, dark-trunked trees with sparse foliage stand on a rocky outcrop in the foreground. To their left, nestled at the base of a mountain, is a small, light-colored building with a dark roof. The entire scene is enveloped in a soft, diffused light. The background fades into lighter tones, suggesting depth and atmospheric perspective. The overall color palette is subdued, featuring grays, blues, and browns against a light paper background.
