Detailed Description
A vertical ink wash painting, rendered in black and various shades of gray, depicts a towering mountainous landscape. The upper two-thirds of the composition are dominated by rugged, craggy peaks, some sharply pointed and others with softer, rounded contours, all textured with vertical and diagonal brushstrokes. Below the highest peaks, dense clusters of trees with dark, textured canopies and some bare, gnarled branches cling to the steep slopes. A prominent tree with a thick, patterned trunk stands on the right side, extending upwards. In the lower left quadrant, a complex of multi-story buildings with tiled roofs is nestled into the mountainside, extending horizontally along a ledge. To its left, a smaller, multi-tiered structure with a pointed roof is visible. Below these structures, a body of water is suggested by horizontal brushstrokes, spanned by a single arched bridge on the far left. The foreground shows more water or a lower landmass. On the left margin, vertical lines of calligraphic text are present, accompanied by several square red seals at the bottom left.
