Brief Description
A horizontal landscape depicting mountains, large trees, a building, and small figures on paths
Detailed Description
The horizontal landscape is predominantly in muted tones of brown, green, and gray, with areas of lighter mist. The composition spans from left to right, depicting a mountainous and forested scene with human activity. On the far left, a small figure on horseback moves rightward along a low path. Above and slightly behind them, a group of three figures walks along a higher, winding path. The background in this section features several layers of rolling hills and mountains, rendered with soft, indistinct outlines, appearing distant and misty. In the central foreground, three prominent, tall trees with dark, gnarled trunks and dense, dark green foliage stand vertically. To their right and slightly set back, a building with a thatched roof is nestled among smaller trees and what appears to be a body of water or a riverbank. Several small figures are visible near the building and along the water's edge. Moving towards the right, the landscape continues with more towering mountains, their peaks fading into the misty background. A thin, white waterfall descends from a higher mountain slope on the right side. The foreground here shows more undulating terrain and scattered trees. On the far right edge of the image, outside the main painted landscape, a vertical column of red seals and a circular emblem with visible text are present on a light, unpainted border. These elements are arranged vertically, with the circular emblem at the top, followed by several rectangular seals.
