Detailed Description
A tall, narrow ink painting on light brown paper depicts a vertical mountainous landscape. The top section features several red seals and two columns of black calligraphic text. The right column reads: "庚辰秋日寫於雙松書屋王翬". The left column reads: "煙嵐深處隱茅茨 瀑布飛流掛石壁 幽徑通幽人跡稀 坐看雲起聽泉聲". Below the text, a series of layered, rounded mountains with textured surfaces recede into the distance, some appearing misty. A prominent, narrow waterfall cascades down the left side of the central mountain range, disappearing behind a cluster of trees and rocks. Numerous small, dark buildings with peaked roofs are nestled among the mountains and trees throughout the mid-ground. The lower half of the painting is dominated by a dense forest of trees with bare branches and some with dark foliage, growing on rocky terrain. A winding path or stream is visible at the bottom, bordered by large, rounded rocks. Two more red seals are present in the bottom left corner.
