Detailed Description
A tall, vertical painting shows a vast, misty mountainous landscape. The upper portion features large, rounded mountain peaks that recede into a hazy, light-toned background, appearing distant. Below these, the mountains become more defined, with craggy rock formations and steep slopes. Several waterfalls are visible, cascading down the rocky terrain, particularly in the middle and lower sections of the painting. Patches of mist and clouds are interspersed throughout the scene, obscuring parts of the mountains. Numerous pine trees, characterized by their gnarled trunks and clusters of blue-green needles, are scattered across the mountainsides, especially prominent in the lower half of the composition. A few small, simple structures, possibly huts or shelters, are nestled among the rocks. The overall color palette is monochromatic, dominated by shades of gray and light brown, with the blue-green of the pine needles providing a subtle color accent. In the upper right corner, there is a vertical column of calligraphic text and two red square seals.
