Detailed Description
A vast mountainous landscape is depicted on a light-colored ground. Towering, craggy mountains, rendered with varying shades of black and gray ink, dominate the composition. In the upper left, a vertical inscription of black characters is visible, followed by a red seal. The mountain slopes are densely forested in places, with numerous small, dark trees and clusters of foliage clinging to ridges and valleys. Scattered throughout the mid-ground are several small buildings with dark roofs, nestled into the mountain contours. A winding river or path descends through the landscape, with a small, arched bridge visible in the mid-section. In the lower half, a large, gnarled tree with dark, twisted branches and dense foliage stands prominently on a rocky bank. Below this tree, a lone figure is depicted near the water's edge, appearing to be seated or resting. The foreground features a body of water with subtle ripples, reflecting the pale sky.
