Detailed Description
A vertical image on light-colored paper shows a landscape with rocky terrain, trees, and figures. The upper third of the composition is mostly blank, light-colored paper. In the upper right quadrant, a block of vertical text is written in black ink. A small, square red seal is visible in the upper left corner. The central portion of the image is dominated by a cluster of trees with dark, gnarled trunks and numerous bare, intricate branches extending upwards and outwards. Some trees also show sparse, dark foliage. These trees emerge from a dark, rocky, and textured ground that forms a small hill or mound. To the right of the central tree cluster, a figure is seated on the rocky ground, facing left. This figure wears light-colored robes and appears to be looking towards the left. Further to the left, partially obscured by the trees and rocks, another smaller figure is seated on a rock. The lower section of the image depicts more rocky terrain, rendered with dark ink washes and textured brushstrokes, suggesting rugged hills or a riverbank. Several small, square red seals are scattered across the lower right and left portions of the rocky ground.
