An ink wash painting shows misty mountains, a small boat, and calligraphic text with a red seal
Detailed Description
A horizontal ink wash painting on light beige paper shows a landscape rendered in shades of black and gray ink. In the upper left, a large, rounded mountain range emerges faintly from a light, misty background, its contours softly defined. Below and to the right, a more prominent and darker mountain range rises, characterized by sharper peaks and dense, dark brushstrokes that suggest trees or foliage. Between these two mountain formations, a vast expanse of the light paper remains unpainted, appearing as distance, mist, or water. In the lower left quadrant, a small, dark, elongated shape, possibly a boat with two small figures, floats on the unpainted surface. In the upper right corner, black calligraphic text is visible, accompanied by a circular red seal below it.
