A large, light-colored mountain, a body of water, trees, and distant buildings under a pale sky
Detailed Description
The painting depicts a scene dominated by a large, light-colored mountain on the right and center, rendered with soft washes of pale gray and subtle brown tones. Its undulating slopes are dotted with clusters of dark green-black foliage, particularly along its ridges and peaks. A smaller, more distant mountain, depicted in faint blue-gray, rises in the upper right background. To the left of the main mountain, a body of water stretches across the mid-ground, reflecting the muted light. Beyond the water, on the far left, a group of structures with red roofs and light-colored walls is partially visible behind a low, light-colored wall. Several tall, slender trees with sparse, dark branches stand near these structures. On the slopes of the main mountain, various groups of dark green-black trees are depicted, some as dense clumps and others as individual, upright forms. The sky above is a very light, almost white, expanse with faint hints of pale blue and brown. The painting is framed by a light-colored border. Several red seals with illegible characters are present: two rectangular seals in the lower left, one square seal in the upper left, two smaller square seals in the lower right, and one small square seal in the upper right.
