Brief Description
Ink and wash landscape on a fan with towering mountains, buildings, water, and calligraphic text
Detailed Description
A fan-shaped ink and wash painting depicts a detailed mountain landscape. Towering, craggy mountains rendered in various shades of grey and black ink dominate the composition, with subtle hints of light blue wash on some peaks and distant ranges. In the upper left quadrant, vertical lines of black calligraphic text are visible, accompanied by two square red seals. Below these, another red seal is placed near the bottom left edge. In the central mid-ground, a cluster of buildings with dark, angled roofs and light walls is nestled among trees, situated in a valley or on a plateau. A waterfall cascades down rocks near these structures, flowing into a body of water that winds through the lower parts of the landscape. More trees with dark, dense foliage are scattered across the mountain slopes. On the far right, additional mountain formations and smaller, less distinct structures are visible. Two more red seals are placed at the bottom right and bottom center edges of the fan.
