Detailed Description
A mountainous landscape is depicted in a vertical ink wash painting on a light-colored ground. The upper right corner contains several columns of vertical black text, which reads: "北苑畫法渾厚華滋，此幅得其一二，石谷子王翬寫。時康熙庚辰秋九月，在清暉閣中。" Below this text are two red square seals and one smaller red rectangular seal. A large, craggy mountain peak dominates the painting, rising from the center-left to the top. Its surface is heavily textured with numerous small, dark ink strokes, suggesting dense foliage and rock formations. Below this main peak, the landscape descends into a series of rolling hills and valleys, also covered in similar textured strokes, indicating forests. Scattered throughout the mid-ground and foreground are clusters of more distinctly rendered trees, primarily appearing as tall pines with visible trunks and dense canopies. A small, open-sided structure, appearing as a house, is nestled among the trees on a lower slope towards the bottom left edge of the painting. Further into the mid-ground, faint horizontal lines suggest paths or terraced fields within the valleys. The landscape features a vast, rugged natural environment rendered with varying shades of black ink on a pale background.
