Brief Description
Ink painting of a landscape with dense trees, distant mountains, a boat, a person, and birds
Detailed Description
A monochromatic ink painting on a light brown, roughly circular ground depicts a landscape. In the left foreground, a cluster of tall, dark-inked trees with full, leafy canopies stands prominently, with some smaller, bare-branched trees interspersed. A small, square red seal is visible at the bottom left corner, partially obscured by the edge of the painting. To the right of the trees, a body of water extends across the middle ground. A small boat with a curved, thatched canopy floats on the water, carrying a single person who appears to be holding a long pole or fishing rod. Three small birds are depicted in flight above the water, between the large trees and the boat. On the far right, a small, rocky landmass with sparse vegetation rises from the water. In the background, a range of undulating mountains with soft, rounded peaks stretches across the horizon, rendered with lighter ink washes to suggest distance. Calligraphy in dark ink is present in the upper left corner, reading: "戊辰歲六月四日", "武陵武陵子寫", and "仁賢林漢臣". The entire scene is rendered in varying shades of black and gray ink on the light brown ground.
