A vertical painting of towering, craggy mountains, a valley with buildings, trees, and water
This vertical painting, rendered in shades of black and gray, depicts a mountainous landscape. The upper half is dominated by a massive, dark, and highly textured mountain peak, flanked by smaller, similarly craggy peaks that recede into lighter, misty washes. Calligraphic text is visible in the upper right and left portions of the sky. Below the towering peaks, a valley opens up, revealing a cluster of buildings with tiled roofs, nestled among a dense array of trees. Some trees appear bare, while others are depicted with evergreen foliage, showing varied brushwork. A body of water, possibly a river or lake, flows through the lower part of the valley, with rocks and smaller trees lining its banks. On the lower left, a small bridge or path crosses the water, with tiny figures visible upon it. The text on the upper right reads: "王炳明溪橋觀月圖". The text on the upper left reads: "顏原之光禄郎本有青出於藍之詠" followed by smaller characters and two square seals.
