Monochrome landscape with a wide river, distant mountains, trees, and figures by a boat
Detailed Description
A monochrome ink wash painting depicts a landscape with a wide body of water. The overall palette is in shades of gray and brown. In the upper portion, a hazy sky features faint, wispy horizontal cloud formations or mist. Below this, a range of distant, undulating mountains with soft, rounded peaks stretches across the horizon, positioned between the sky and a vast expanse of water. The water occupies the majority of the central and lower right sections of the painting and has subtle ripples. On the left foreground, a rocky, elevated bank is covered with several tall, slender trees with drooping branches and dense foliage. Beneath these trees, a group of approximately seven small figures is gathered, some seated, some standing. Further to the right, a long, rectangular boat with a covered cabin is docked at the water's edge, connected to the bank by a small gangplank. A single figure stands on the bank near the boat, facing towards it. More trees, similar in style to those on the left, are visible on the lower right bank. In the upper right corner, vertical lines of black calligraphic text are present, accompanied by two red square seals. The text reads: "清陽赤心是天涯兩岸 風清蘆荻花誰走舟中 由司馬滿江明月隱是提 唐寅畫".
