Brief Description
Watercolor landscape with ink-washed mountains, colorful trees, and small structures under a red seal
Detailed Description
A vertical watercolor painting on light-colored paper depicts a mountainous landscape. In the upper left corner, a red square seal with black characters is visible, with faint black calligraphy above it. The central and upper right portions of the image are dominated by a series of mountains, rendered with light brown and grey washes, outlined with black ink lines, and dotted with small black marks suggesting sparse vegetation. The mountains rise from the lower center towards the top, with some peaks extending out of view. Clustered on the right side of the mountains are various trees; some feature pinkish-red foliage, others green or yellow, and some are depicted with only black outlines. Small, multi-tiered structures with dark roofs are nestled among the trees on the right side of the mountains. Faint washes of light blue and green suggest distant elements or sky in the upper left and upper right areas of the background. The paper itself is a light cream or off-white color.
