Detailed Description
A layered landscape, rendered in shades of blue, green, and brown against a warm, muted ochre background, fills this vertical painting. The composition is divided into distinct horizontal sections. At the top, prominent, jagged mountains rise, depicted in light blue and green with darker blue accents and black outlines. These mountains recede into a lighter, hazy background on the right. Below this, a horizontal band of lighter ochre suggests a body of water or mist, separating the upper peaks from the middle ground. The middle section features a dense arrangement of trees. On the left, tall, slender trees with dark green foliage stand upright. To their right, a larger cluster of trees with blue-green leaves and dark trunks fills the space. Another horizontal band of lighter ochre separates this section from the foreground. In the lower section, a lone figure stands on a grassy bank on the left, facing towards the right. The figure wears a long, reddish-brown robe and a head covering, holding a staff. To the right of the figure, several large trees with thick, gnarled, light brown trunks display dark, circular markings. Below these trees, more blue and green rock formations and water are visible. The foreground also includes small green bushes and dark green, pine-like trees. In the upper left corner, a vertical column of dark, calligraphic text is present.
