A circular landscape painting features mountains, trees, and small buildings on a light brown background
Detailed Description
This circular painting on a light brown ground depicts a landscape. In the upper left quadrant, two red seals with intricate characters are visible: an oval seal on the left reads "乾隆御覽之寶" and a rectangular seal on the right reads "三希堂精鑑璽". Faint, layered mountains with soft, undulating peaks appear in the upper right, rendered in light grey tones that blend into the background. The central and upper-mid sections of the painting are largely open, light brown space. The lower half of the composition is dominated by a steep, dark rocky slope on the left, from which several large trees with dark, dense foliage and gnarled branches emerge. These trees extend towards the center and right. Nestled among the trees and rocks in the lower-center are a few small, simple buildings with thatched roofs. A narrow, winding path or stream is visible in the foreground, leading towards the lower right. The painting primarily uses shades of black and dark grey for the landscape elements, contrasting with the light brown of the ground and sky.
