Detailed Description
A circular landscape painting depicts a scene primarily in muted earthy tones. In the upper left quadrant, a multi-tiered building with dark roofs and light walls is nestled among green foliage and tall, dark green pine trees with gnarled brown trunks. The building appears to be situated on a hillside. Below and to the right of the building, a body of water, possibly a lake or river, stretches horizontally across the middle ground. Above the water, a few small, dark bird-like shapes are visible in the sky. In the lower right quadrant, more trees with dark green foliage and some with red leaves grow on a gentle slope. A tiny, indistinct figure, possibly a person, is visible near the bottom right edge of the circular composition. In the background, a range of low, dark mountains extends across the horizon, with a faint reddish hue in the sky above them. The overall color palette consists of browns, greens, grays, and subtle reds. To the right of the circular painting, outside its boundary, vertical text reads "宗王光林鶴遠". A red seal mark is present near the bottom right within the circular image.
