A fan-shaped painting shows a mountainous landscape with trees, a small structure, and calligraphic text
Detailed Description
This fan-shaped painting features a monochromatic landscape with accents of reddish-brown. The composition is dominated by towering, rugged mountains rendered in shades of gray and black ink, with visible vertical brushstrokes suggesting texture and form. On the far left, a multi-tiered structure, possibly a bridge or building, is nestled against the base of a large mountain, its dark vertical supports visible. Throughout the mid-ground, numerous deciduous trees with dark, intricate branches and small, reddish-brown leaves or buds are scattered among the rocks and lower mountain slopes. The mountains recede into the background on the right, becoming lighter in tone. In the upper right quadrant, several columns of black calligraphic text are present, accompanied by two small, square red seals. Another small, square red seal is visible in the lower right corner of the painted area.
