Brief Description
Two-page spread: ink and wash landscape of mountains, water, buildings, and calligraphy
Detailed Description
The image displays a two-page spread from an album or book, presented horizontally. The left page is a light beige color and features several vertical lines of black calligraphy. The text reads, from right to left: "古木無人徑深山何", "裏鐘", "石谷畫冊十二", "頁", and "南田子衣生壽持". Below the last line of text, there is a rectangular red seal, and above it, a smaller square red seal. The right page presents an ink and wash landscape painting. The scene is dominated by a series of mountains rendered with black ink outlines and washes of light blue-gray and subtle light brown tones. In the background, two larger, more distant mountains appear hazy and lighter in color. In the midground, several rounded, textured mountain peaks rise from a body of water in the foreground. Nestled on the highest peak in the center of the painting is a multi-tiered building with a distinct red roof and dark walls. Further down and to the right, a smaller, simpler building with a brown roof is visible among the lower mountains. Sparse, dark ink strokes suggest trees and foliage on the mountain slopes. The foreground features a body of water, indicated by horizontal ink lines, with a few dark, rounded rocks emerging from it in the lower center. In the upper left corner of the painted page, there is a vertical line of red calligraphy that reads "紅山華寺", accompanied by a small square red seal below it. The overall color palette includes black ink, light blue-gray, light brown, and red against the light beige paper.
