Ink landscape painting on a fan with mountains, trees, water, a pavilion, and calligraphy
Detailed Description
An ink landscape painting on a fan-shaped surface depicts a natural scene. The background features a range of mountains, rendered with varying shades of dark gray and black ink washes, appearing to recede into the distance. In the midground, a wide body of water, possibly a lake or river, stretches across the composition. On the far side of the water, a distant shoreline is dotted with small clusters of trees and low hills, also painted with dark ink. In the foreground, to the right, a large, gnarled tree with sparse, dark foliage stands on a rocky bank. To the left of the center, a small, open-sided pavilion with a dark, peaked roof is situated on stilts at the water's edge. A small, dark figure is visible inside the pavilion. The lower left portion of the fan contains vertical text in dark ink, followed by a square red seal impression.
