Detailed Description
This is a vertical ink wash painting depicting a misty mountain and water landscape. The artwork is rendered primarily in shades of black, grey, and white, with a light, almost white background. In the upper left corner, faint characters and a small red seal mark are visible. At the top, a large, jagged mountain peak rises, partially obscured by mist. A bright white circular form, resembling a moon, is positioned behind the upper left slope of this mountain. A small, dark structure with a roof is visible on a ridge of the mountain. Below this, a cluster of dark trees surrounds several small, light-colored houses with dark roofs, appearing to be situated on a misty bank or island. Further down, a wide expanse of water stretches across the middle ground, with faint, dark landforms visible on the distant horizon. A scattering of tiny dark specks, possibly birds, flies above the water in the upper right. In the foreground, at the bottom, a prominent dark, vertical rock formation stands amidst sparse, dark, wispy vegetation. The entire painting is framed by a wide, gold-colored border with a repeating geometric and floral pattern.
