A mountainous landscape with dense trees, small houses, and a bridge over water
Detailed Description
A vertical landscape image on light-toned paper depicts a detailed mountainous scene. The upper half is dominated by towering, craggy mountains rendered with varied ink strokes, creating a textured, rugged appearance. Numerous dark, slender trees, resembling conifers, densely cover the mountain slopes. On the left side of the upper mountain, a few small, simple structures with peaked roofs are nestled into the terrain. A horizontal band of lighter tone separates the upper mountains from the lower landscape, suggesting a distant body of water or a misty valley. The lower half of the image features a foreground with a variety of trees, including both dark, dense conifers and lighter, more sparse deciduous trees with visible branches. On the lower left, a small, simple bridge with multiple supports spans a narrow stream or path. The ground in the foreground is uneven and rocky. The image uses a range of ink tones, from light washes to dark, dense strokes, to create depth and detail. Vertical calligraphic text, reading "巖居高士圖" and "五華", is present in the upper right corner. Two red square seals are visible in the lower left and lower right corners.
