Brief Description
Monochrome ink painting of a mountainous landscape with trees, buildings, a waterfall, and a bridge
Detailed Description
This monochrome ink painting depicts a dense mountainous landscape rendered in shades of black and grey. In the upper left, two tall, pointed mountains rise into a misty background. The upper right features rounded mountains and a prominent waterfall cascading down a steep slope, with a winding path visible alongside it. The mid-ground is densely forested with numerous trees, some appearing bare with thin branches, while others have sparse, rounded foliage. Rocky formations are interspersed throughout the terrain. In the center-right, a small building with a gabled roof is nestled among the trees and rocks. Below it, an arched bridge spans a body of water or a path. The foreground consists of more rocky terrain and scattered trees. Multiple columns of black calligraphic text are present in the upper right and upper left portions of the image. Red seals are visible in the bottom left and bottom right corners, and another smaller red seal is near the calligraphic text in the upper center.
