Detailed Description
This square-format painting depicts a landscape with a large mountain range on the left, rendered in shades of light brown, gray, and subtle blue-green. The mountain slopes are textured with numerous brushstrokes, suggesting rocky terrain and sparse foliage. Dark green pine trees are scattered across the upper and middle sections of the mountain. Towards the lower left, a winding path or stream bed descends, bordered by various trees, including one with light yellow-green leaves and another with reddish-pink foliage. A small, light-colored figure is visible on a path near the base of the mountain. The right side of the painting is occupied by a wide, still body of water, reflecting the muted tones of the sky. On a rocky outcrop extending into the water from the base of the main mountain, a small, light-colored house with a dark roof is situated. In the far distance, a series of hazy, blue-gray mountains recede into the horizon, bordering the water. The sky above the distant mountains and water is a light beige. Several red seals are present: a rectangular one and a smaller square one in the upper right, two stacked square seals in the lower right, and a circular seal in the lower left. Faint black text is also visible near the upper right seals.
