Detailed Description
A vertical ink wash painting depicts a misty mountain landscape in muted tones of brown, dark grey, and black ink. Two tall, slender trees with sparse, needle-like foliage occupy the right side, their branches extending across the upper right quadrant. Beneath these trees, the ground is rocky and uneven, rendered with varied brushstrokes. To the left, a wide expanse of mist or water fills the lower and central portions of the image, obscuring the base of a large, triangular mountain peak in the mid-ground. On the far left, near the bottom, a faint structure resembling a small bridge or pier extends horizontally over the water. Above this structure, two small, indistinct figures appear to be seated or standing. The upper left portion of the painting is largely empty, appearing as a vast, hazy atmosphere. Faint, vertical text is visible in the lower left corner of the artwork.
