Detailed Description
This landscape painting, rendered in muted brown and ochre tones with dark ink outlines, depicts a mountainous scene with a waterfall, bamboo forests, and a river. In the background, rolling mountains with soft, rounded peaks fade into the distance. A prominent waterfall cascades down the center of the mid-ground, flowing from a higher peak. To the right of the waterfall, two small, multi-tiered buildings with dark roofs are nestled into the mountainside, one positioned above the other. Extensive bamboo forests, characterized by thin, dark trunks and sparse foliage, cover the hillsides, particularly on the left and right sides of the composition. In the foreground, a rocky river or stream flows from the base of the waterfall, winding towards the lower-left. Several small figures, depicted in light clothing, are gathered on the banks of the river in the lower-left and center, some appearing to sit or stand. The upper-left corner contains vertical lines of dark calligraphy and a square red seal. The overall artwork has a soft, hazy quality, with details rendered in fine lines.
