Brief Description
An ink wash scroll painting depicts a misty mountainous landscape with waterfalls, dense foliage, and small buildings
Detailed Description
A towering mountainous landscape, enveloped in mist, is depicted in a vertical ink wash scroll painting. The upper portion features jagged, dark peaks, some with subtle hints of light green or yellow, rising into a pale, hazy sky. In the upper left, a vertical line of black calligraphy reads "雲山" (Cloud Mountain), followed by a red square seal. Below these, a prominent, slender peak with a lighter, almost glowing, green-yellow hue stands out against the lighter background. Mid-ground, a significant waterfall cascades down a steep, dark cliff face on the right, disappearing into a thick layer of mist that fills the valleys and lower slopes. On the left, nestled into a mountain ledge, a small, multi-roofed building with a light-colored facade is visible, surrounded by dark, textured foliage. Another smaller structure can be seen further right, higher up on a different mountain. The mountainsides are textured with varied brushstrokes, depicting rock formations and scattered trees. The lower section of the painting is largely obscured by dense, swirling mist, from which the dark silhouettes of trees and lower mountain forms emerge. Another, less distinct waterfall is visible further down on the right. The overall palette is dominated by shades of black, grey, and white, with the warm beige tone of the paper providing the base.
