Detailed Description
Rendered in shades of black and gray on a light, off-white ground, a towering mountainous landscape with a river is depicted. The composition is arranged vertically, moving from dense peaks at the top to a wider river scene at the bottom. In the upper right corner, four vertical lines of script are visible, followed by two small, square red seals. The script reads: "山深春雨足 溪漲晚來急 漁舟何處去 煙波渺無極". Below this, the upper third of the image features steep, rugged mountains covered with dense, dark foliage, rendered with varied brushstrokes. Areas of lighter wash suggest mist or clouds obscuring parts of the peaks. The middle section continues the descent, with more mountains and trees, becoming less dense and revealing more of the underlying rock formations. Small, simple structures, possibly huts or houses, are nestled among the trees on the slopes. A river begins to wind its way through the landscape, with rocky banks and small waterfalls. The lower third of the image opens up to a broader expanse of water. On the left bank, a large, gnarled tree with long, hanging branches extends over the water. A small, narrow boat with a single figure is visible on the water, positioned towards the left, near the tree. The right bank features more rocky outcrops and sparse vegetation. Another small, square red seal is located in the bottom right corner.
