Brief Description
Two vertical panels: black calligraphy, red seals, and an ink wash landscape of mountains and pines
Detailed Description
The artwork consists of two vertical panels presented side-by-side on a light beige background. The left panel is filled with dense black calligraphic text arranged in vertical columns, covering most of the panel's surface. The characters vary in stroke thickness and size. Three red square seals are visible within this panel: one large seal at the bottom left corner, and two smaller seals positioned near the top right and bottom right of the text block. The right panel features an ink wash landscape painting. A prominent, dark gray mountain or cliff face dominates the right side of this panel, extending from the top edge to the bottom. Its surface is textured with vertical brushstrokes. In the lower-middle section, three slender, dark green pine-like trees grow from a rocky outcrop, their trunks curving slightly to the left and their needles depicted with fine, feathery strokes. A lighter, misty area or body of water occupies the upper left portion of the panel, with a faint horizontal line. Several red square seals are scattered across this panel. In the upper left corner, there is a small red seal, with faint black text above and to its right reading "春峰", "小山", "右谷", and "尊人". Along the right edge of the cliff face, another red seal is present, with black text above it reading "故宮監製許陽". Two more red seals are stacked vertically in the lower left corner of the panel. The overall color palette is limited to black, various shades of gray, and the red of the seals, against the light beige of the paper.
