Misty mountains and a distant building among trees, framed by decorative borders
Detailed Description
A vertical image on a light beige ground shows a misty landscape. The upper portion features a pale sky, transitioning into a dense layer of swirling mist or clouds that fills the middle ground. From this mist, several dark, jagged mountain peaks emerge, rendered with varying shades of gray ink. The mist obscures the bases of these mountains. In the lower third of the composition, a small cluster of land or hills rises from the mist. On this elevated ground, a building with a dark, sloped roof is visible, surrounded by several dark, rounded trees. The building is depicted with fine lines and subtle shading. To the left of the building, a vertical line of text, appearing as calligraphy, is present. The image is framed by a decorative border: the side panels are a light gold with a subtle floral pattern, while the very top and bottom edges feature a narrow band of dark teal with a geometric design.
