Brief Description
Monochrome ink painting on a fan: a mountainous landscape with trees and a bridge over water
Detailed Description
This fan-shaped ink painting depicts a monochrome mountainous landscape on a light brown ground. The composition is dominated by rugged mountains and numerous trees, rendered in various shades of black and gray ink. On the far left, a steep mountain slope rises, covered with sparse, gnarled trees. Below this slope, in the lower left corner, black vertical characters are visible, followed by two red square seals. The characters read: "明皇御筆". Moving right, the landscape opens into a valley or gorge. A simple bridge, constructed with vertical supports, spans across this area, connecting two landmasses. Below the bridge, a body of water or a stream is suggested by lighter ink washes. The central area features more dense clusters of trees, some with bare branches and others with light foliage, growing on undulating terrain. These trees exhibit intricate branch patterns. In the background, softer, rounded mountain peaks are depicted with lighter ink washes, creating a sense of depth. On the right side of the painting, a large, craggy mountain face rises prominently, with trees clinging to its upper slopes and along its edges. The ink work varies from delicate lines defining tree branches and rock textures to broader, softer washes for distant mountains and atmospheric effects.
