Detailed Description
This horizontal landscape painting is rendered in a monochrome palette of sepia and dark brown ink. The upper portion of the image features a range of rolling hills or mountains, depicted with lighter tones at their peaks and darker, more textured brushstrokes along their lower slopes. Below these mountains, a wide body of water, possibly a lake or river, stretches across the midground, its surface appearing calm with subtle variations in tone. On the far side of the water, faint, dark landforms are visible in the distance. In the foreground, on the left side, a cluster of buildings with sloped roofs is nestled among bare, gnarled trees. One building has an open entrance where a small, indistinct figure can be seen, possibly seated or reclining. The leafless trees, with their intricate, dark branches, are prominent throughout the foreground and extend towards the water. On the right side of the foreground, more dense, bare trees frame a small, arched bridge with railings that spans a narrow stream or inlet. Various rocks are scattered along the banks and within the water. In the upper right corner of the painting, several red square seals are visible, along with vertical black text that reads "高光明". Additional red seals are present along the right edge of the artwork.
