Detailed Description
This vertical, monochromatic image depicts a layered landscape. In the upper left corner, a square seal with illegible characters and the vertical text "三五齊" is visible. The top third of the image features a range of tall, craggy mountains rendered with dark ink outlines and lighter washes, suggesting depth. Some mountain slopes are dotted with clusters of dark, rounded trees. Below the mountains, the middle ground is densely forested with various types of trees, including tall, slender evergreens and broader, more rounded deciduous trees, all depicted in varying shades of dark ink. Situated among these trees, particularly in the mid-right, are several small, simple houses with peaked roofs, appearing to be built on raised platforms or stilts. In the lower third, on the left, a large, gnarled tree with a thick trunk and sparse foliage stands on a rocky outcrop. To its right, a prominent pavilion with a curved, tiered roof and open sides is situated near a body of water. A large willow tree with long, drooping branches extends over the pavilion from the right. The water, rendered with light washes and horizontal lines, stretches across the bottom right, with faint indications of small boats or distant landforms.
