A multi-story building on a cliff overlooking water, with distant hills, flying birds, and calligraphy
Detailed Description
A multi-story building with a dark, tiered roof stands on a steep, reddish-brown cliff face on the left side of the image. The building's walls are a light reddish-brown. Several small, indistinct figures in light clothing are visible on a terrace or wall near the building, looking towards the right. The cliff is adorned with various trees and foliage in shades of dark green, light green, and blue-green, some appearing as dense clusters and others as thin, vertical lines. The central and right portions of the lower half of the image are largely open, suggesting a body of water or a vast expanse, marked by faint horizontal lines. A small flock of dark, bird-like shapes flies in a diagonal line across the middle right of this open space. In the upper right quadrant, a block of dark, vertical calligraphy is present, accompanied by a red seal impression. Below this, faint, undulating lines suggest distant hills, topped with small clusters of blue-green trees. In the lower left corner, a red square seal impression is visible, partially obscured by the cliff. The overall color palette is muted, featuring blues, greens, reddish-browns, and dark grays against a light background.
