Brief Description
Two vertical ink wash scrolls depicting misty mountain landscapes with water, trees, and structures
Detailed Description
The image displays two vertical scroll paintings, presented side-by-side against a dark background. Both scrolls are mounted with light beige fabric borders featuring subtle patterns, and a lighter, patterned fabric at the top and bottom sections. Each scroll has a light brown wooden bar at the top for hanging and a similar bar at the bottom. The left scroll features a landscape rendered in ink wash on a light, aged paper. The upper portion is largely empty, depicting a misty sky. Below, a towering, jagged mountain range dominates the left side, with a waterfall cascading down its face into a body of water at the bottom. Pine trees are scattered across the lower slopes and along the water's edge. A small, multi-tiered building with a curved roof is nestled among trees on a small promontory in the lower left. In the distance, faint, smaller mountains are visible through the mist. A pale, circular form, possibly a moon, is visible in the upper left sky. Small, dark calligraphic marks are present on the mountain face. The right scroll also depicts an ink wash landscape on similar paper. The upper half is a vast expanse of misty sky. The right side is dominated by a steep, lighter-colored cliff face that descends towards a body of water. Along the base of the cliff and extending into the water are several dark, gnarled trees. In the foreground, at the bottom center, a recumbent figure is depicted, possibly a person or a large animal, partially obscured by rocks and foliage near the water's edge. The water extends into the distance, meeting a hazy horizon. Small, dark calligraphic marks are visible on the cliff face.
