A vertical misty mountainous landscape with bare trees, a cascading waterfall, and flowing water
The vertical image, rendered in shades of gray and black on a light brown background, depicts a misty mountainous landscape. The upper third of the composition is dominated by a large, softly contoured mountain peak, appearing light gray against a slightly darker, hazy sky. To its left, a smaller, rounded mountain is partially visible. In the upper left corner, a column of black calligraphic text is present, followed by two small red square seals. The text reads: "風雨蕭蕭夜正長 獨坐幽窗思故鄉 一燈如豆人初靜 萬籟無聲月半窗 庚子冬日寫於 清涼山房". Below the main peak, the landscape descends into a series of rugged, lighter gray rock formations and smaller peaks. A narrow, light-colored waterfall or stream cascades down the right side of these formations. Numerous bare, dark-branched trees with sparse, delicate foliage are scattered throughout the middle ground, clinging to the slopes and emerging from crevices. Some trees have lighter, almost white trunks. A small, indistinct structure, possibly a building, is nestled among the trees on a lower slope on the left side. The lower third of the image features larger, rounded rocks in the foreground on the left. A body of water, depicted with horizontal, light gray washes, flows from the right side towards the bottom center. More bare trees are visible on the left bank of this water. In the bottom right corner, two small red square seals are present.
