Brief Description
A vertical ink wash painting depicting figures working with pots and baskets in a hilly landscape
Detailed Description
A vertical ink wash painting features a muted palette of greys, blues, and faint ochre on light-colored paper. The upper third of the artwork shows a hazy, mountainous or hilly landscape rendered with soft, broad washes of light grey and blue. Two large, upright, rectangular forms stand prominently in the upper middle, partially obscured by the mist-like washes. Smaller, indistinct shapes are scattered around them. A diagonal band of darker grey wash creates a sloping form, descending from the upper left towards the lower right. To the left of this band, a figure walks rightward, carrying a basket with both hands at waist level. This figure wears a dark blue garment with some yellow accents. The lower half of the painting features several figures engaged in activity near various large, round vessels. In the lower center, a figure kneels, leaning over a large, light brown tub. This figure wears a striped garment of light blue and grey. To their right, another large, grey pot is visible. Further to the left and slightly behind, another figure is seated or kneeling. Several other smaller, round vessels are scattered across the ground. The ground itself is rendered with light grey washes and some darker accents. In the lower right corner, there are faint vertical inscriptions in dark ink, followed by a small red seal.
