Circular ink painting of a winter landscape with houses, trees, mountains, and birds flying
A circular ink painting shows a winter landscape rendered in tones of gray, black, and the beige of the paper. In the upper portion, a group of small, dark birds flies across a hazy sky above distant, softly rendered mountains. Below the mountains, a cluster of tall, gnarled pine trees with dark needles stands on the left, alongside several bare deciduous trees. To their right, a small village contains three simple houses with peaked roofs, possibly covered in snow, situated among the trees. A path or riverbank extends from the houses towards the right. In the mid-ground, a body of water, possibly a river or lake, stretches across the lower half of the composition. Its banks are dotted with rocks and sparse vegetation. On the far right, a small, low bridge crosses a narrow section of the water. In the foreground, on the right, the bare, drooping branches of a weeping willow-like tree extend over the water. The scene is rendered with delicate brushstrokes, creating a sense of visual depth.
