Brief Description
Misty ink wash landscape with towering mountains, a waterfall, dense trees, and small houses
Detailed Description
A horizontal ink wash depicts a vast, misty mountain landscape rendered primarily in shades of black, gray, and white, with subtle hints of light brown. A towering, craggy mountain peak dominates the left side, its dark, textured surfaces appearing rugged. A prominent waterfall cascades down the center of this mountain, appearing as a vertical white streak against the darker rock. To the left of the main peak, softer, more distant mountains recede into the background, depicted with lighter ink washes, appearing distant and misty. The right side features a sloping hillside densely covered with trees, their feathery foliage rendered in dark ink, with some light brown visible on their trunks. These trees are concentrated in the mid-ground, partially enveloped by the pervasive mist that fills the valleys and obscures the upper reaches of the mountains. In the lower-center to lower-right foreground, a small cluster of simple buildings with light roofs and dark outlines is nestled at the base of the mountains, near what appears to be a faint path or terraced area. The upper and central portions are largely unpainted, appearing as an expansive sky or mist. In the upper left corner, vertical dark ink calligraphy is present, followed by two square red seals. The calligraphy reads: "茲黃鶴山樵夏" and "昌居真本".
