Brief Description
An ink painting of towering mountains, dense forests, traditional buildings, and a body of water
Detailed Description
This monochrome ink painting on a light-colored ground depicts a sprawling mountainous landscape. Towering, craggy mountains dominate the upper and central portions of the composition, rendered with varied ink washes and textured strokes. Many peaks are densely covered with small, dark trees, particularly visible on the mountain slopes in the upper right and center. A narrow waterfall descends between two prominent peaks in the upper-middle section of the painting. A body of water, possibly a lake or river, occupies the lower-left and central-lower areas, extending towards the right. Along its shores and nestled among the rocks and trees are several traditional buildings with distinct tiled roofs. A large complex of structures, featuring multiple interconnected buildings, is prominently situated on a rocky outcrop near the center-right, surrounded by dense foliage. Smaller, individual buildings are scattered elsewhere, integrated into the natural environment. Numerous trees, depicted with dark ink, are distributed throughout the landscape, appearing as dense forests on mountain slopes, clusters along the water's edge, and surrounding the architectural elements. On the far left edge of the painting, several red seals are visible, along with vertical black text. The black text, from top to bottom, reads: "晉人趙景", followed by "製". Below this, more red seals are present. In the upper left, two rectangular red seals are stacked vertically. A large circular red seal is positioned in the upper right corner.
