Detailed Description
This fan-shaped painting features a detailed landscape rendered in ink and light watercolors on a textured, light brown surface. The composition is dominated by rugged mountains and tall trees. On the far left, a series of jagged peaks rise, some with washes of blue and orange on their upper sections, while a winding, light brown river or path flows across the lower left foreground. In the center, a towering, dark grey mountain cliff stands prominently, topped by a single, large, dark green tree with a gnarled trunk. Partway down this central cliff, a small, multi-tiered structure, possibly a pagoda, is visible on a narrow ledge, with faint lines suggesting steps leading up to it. To the right of the central cliff, a cluster of tall, slender trees with dark green foliage and light brown trunks grows on a rocky outcrop. Below these trees, a small, rectangular building with a dark roof and light walls is situated on a lower, flat section of the mountain. The background on the right features more receding mountains in lighter grey tones. In the upper right corner, dark calligraphic text is inscribed, accompanied by a small, square red seal below it.
