An ink wash landscape with mountains, a river, an arched bridge, a boat, trees, and red seals
Detailed Description
A horizontal ink wash painting depicts a landscape in shades of gray and black, accented by numerous red seals and some black text. In the background, soft, hazy mountains stretch across the upper portion of the scene. Below them, a wide river flows horizontally, spanned by a multi-arched bridge with a light gray tone, visually receding into the distance. In the lower left foreground, a small boat with a single figure seated inside floats on the river. A tree with a few leaves leans over the water from the left riverbank. Moving towards the center and right foreground, several bare trees with intricate, dark branches stand on the riverbank, some appearing tall and slender, others more gnarled. Interspersed among them are a few smaller trees with darker, denser foliage. The riverbank itself is rendered with darker ink, showing rocky textures. On the far right, a steep, sloping bank or mountain face rises, partially obscuring the background. The upper and right sections of the painting are heavily marked with numerous red seals of various square, circular, and rectangular shapes, some overlapping the landscape elements. Vertical black calligraphic text is visible along the far right edge, partially covered by seals, which reads: "唐子畏寫意李端詩意".
