Monochrome ink drawing of towering, craggy mountains with sparse trees and calligraphic text
Detailed Description
A monochrome ink drawing on light-colored paper depicts a mountainous landscape. The composition is dominated by large, craggy mountain formations rendered with varying shades of grey and black ink. These forms rise from the bottom of the image, extending upwards and filling the central and upper right portions of the frame. Darker, textured strokes define crevices and shadows within the rock faces, while lighter areas appear less defined, possibly indicating distance or mist. In the lower left quadrant, a small cluster of sparse, dark tree branches is visible on a lower ridge. In the upper left, a vertical column of black calligraphic text is present. Below this text, two red seals are visible: a square one above a rectangular one. Another red rectangular seal is located in the lower left corner of the image. The background is a uniform light, neutral tone, which is the paper itself.
