Brief Description
A fan-shaped landscape with mountains, trees, houses, and figures, ink on tan paper
Detailed Description
This fan-shaped artwork on tan paper presents a dense, expansive landscape primarily rendered in black ink with subtle blue-grey washes. Numerous mountains and hills dominate the scene, depicted with strong, dark outlines and lighter washes that define their forms; some peaks are pointed, others rounded. Dark, dense clusters of trees, including pines and other deciduous types, cover the slopes and valleys, varying in size and shape. A body of water, possibly a lake or river, is visible in the middle ground and background, appearing as a lighter, unpainted area. Several small, simple buildings with dark roofs and light walls are scattered throughout the landscape, nestled among the trees and hills. Small human figures are visible in the foreground and middle ground, one appearing to walk with a staff, another near a building. The upper right and upper left sections of the fan contain vertical lines of black calligraphic text. Red square seals are visible in the upper left and lower right corners, and another in the lower left.
