Detailed Description
A vertical ink painting depicts a sprawling mountainous landscape. Towering, rugged mountains dominate the upper two-thirds of the image, their peaks receding into a lighter, misty background. On the left side, a prominent waterfall cascades down a steep rock face, forming multiple tiers of white against the darker stone. Dense clusters of trees, depicted with dark, textured brushstrokes, cling to the mountain slopes and dot the foreground. In the mid-ground on the right, nestled among trees, a small, multi-roofed structure, possibly a pavilion or dwelling, is visible. A winding river or body of water appears in the distant valley at the top, and another wider body of water extends across the lower right foreground. The overall palette consists of varying shades of gray and black, creating depth and texture. Red seals are visible in the upper left, upper right, and lower left corners of the artwork.
