Detailed Description
The image is a vertical, monochrome ink wash painting on light-toned paper, depicting a mountainous landscape. A tall, pointed mountain peak dominates the upper left, rendered with lighter washes and darker, textured strokes suggesting rock formations. Below this peak, a series of rolling hills and smaller mountains extend across the mid-ground, gradually descending towards the bottom. These hills are textured with varying shades of gray and black ink, indicating foliage and rocky outcrops. Scattered throughout the landscape are numerous trees, rendered with dark ink. In the upper-mid section, small clusters of trees appear on the slopes of the hills. Further down, in the lower-mid and foreground, more prominent groups of trees with distinct trunks and dense foliage are visible, particularly on the right side. A winding path or stream appears to flow through the lower left portion of the painting, bordered by sparse vegetation. Two red square seals are visible in the lower left corner, and another red seal is near the calligraphic text in the upper right. The calligraphic text, written vertically in black ink, is located in the upper right quadrant of the painting and reads: "清風明月本無價 遠山近水皆有情 庚午五月上浣 倣倪高士筆意 吳山識"
