Detailed Description
This artwork is presented as a diptych, featuring two vertical panels. The left panel is dominated by vertical lines of black text, filling most of the space. Three red seals are visible on this panel: a large rectangular one at the top right, a smaller square one near the bottom right of the text block, and a larger rectangular one at the bottom left corner. The right panel displays a landscape. In the upper half, a prominent, light green mountain with undulating, layered ridges rises, flanked by smaller, hazy mountains in the background to the left. Below the main mountain, a cluster of buildings with red roofs is nestled among trees, suggesting a village. The mid-ground features a misty, light green and brown landscape. In the foreground, to the right, a large, gnarled tree with white blossoms or leaves stands. To its left, a bare, twisted tree is visible. In the lower center, a small boat with two figures glides on a body of water. The ground is a mix of light brown and green, with some small, blue-green rock formations. The right panel also features three red seals: two in the lower left corner and one large rectangular seal in the upper right corner.
