Detailed Description
This vertical painting depicts a towering mountainous landscape rendered in muted greens, browns, and grays, against a light yellow-beige background. A large, central mountain dominates the composition, extending from the top edge to the bottom edge of the frame. Its upper section features a craggy peak, detailed with textured brushstrokes and dotted with small clusters of dark green trees. As the mountain descends, it forms a complex network of ridges and valleys, densely covered with various trees and shrubs in shades of green. Several thin, white waterfalls cascade down the slopes, particularly on the right side. Small, indistinct structures are nestled among the foliage and rocks throughout the middle ground. In the lower third, the trees become more prominent with fuller canopies. A distinct red-roofed building with light-colored walls is situated on the left, surrounded by rocks and trees. To its right, a small, light-colored bridge spans a stream, and a small figure in blue clothing is visible walking on a path nearby. Additional small structures and fences are scattered across the lower landscape. The bottom right corner contains vertical columns of black characters that read "雲樵寫丁卯年夏日於清暉閣" followed by a red seal impression below them.
