Brief Description
A gray and black ink landscape: bare trees, river, hills, small building, and flying birds
Detailed Description
A landscape rendered in shades of gray and black ink on a light background features a wide vista. The upper portion of the composition shows a light gray sky, across which a flock of small, dark birds flies in a V-formation from the upper left towards the upper right. In the upper right corner, several columns of vertical text are written in black ink, followed by two red square seals at the bottom of the last column. Below the sky, a body of water, likely a river or lake, stretches horizontally across the middle of the composition. Its surface is mostly light gray, with darker, irregular shapes suggesting rocks or small islands. On the left side, a sloping hill covered with numerous bare, slender trees rises from the water's edge. The trees are depicted with dark, intricate, leafless branches. On the right side, another hill also rises, featuring several larger, more prominent bare trees with thicker trunks and branches. One tree on the far right has long, hanging tendrils. In the lower left, nestled on a small rise near the water, is a small, simple building with a dark, tiled, gabled roof and open sides, suggesting a pavilion or hut. In the lower center and right, the foreground consists of gently rolling terrain, sparsely covered with what appears to be dry grass or brush. A prominent, gnarled tree with a thick, bent trunk and drooping branches extends from the lower center towards the left, partially obscuring the small building. The text in the upper right corner reads: 林葉尽未己酬稀梅逸二泉歲月如藝友吾傅阿端可依 Below this text are two red square seals.
