Brief Description
Monochrome seascape with a tall cliff, distant island, and multiple sailboats on rippling water
Detailed Description
A monochrome seascape features a prominent, tall, light-toned cliff on the right, rising vertically from the water. Dark waves break against its base. Several lines of dark calligraphy are visible on the upper part of the cliff face, extending into the sky above it. To the left of the cliff, a wide expanse of water fills the foreground and middle ground, showing subtle ripples and waves. Three small boats with sails are scattered across the water: one is near the left edge, another is positioned between the cliff and a distant landmass, and a third is further back near the landmass. This low-lying landmass is covered with dark, dense foliage. The sky above the water and land is light and mostly clear, with faint horizontal lines.
