Brief Description
A detailed painting of a walled garden, buildings, and trees, with distant mountains under a hazy sky
Detailed Description
The painting depicts a landscape rendered in muted tones of gray, green, and light brown, with subtle red accents. A long, light gray wall horizontally divides the middle ground. In the upper left corner, several columns of black ink calligraphy are visible, accompanied by two red square seals. Below and to the right of the calligraphy, a tall, winding gray wall with a textured top edge extends from the left edge of the painting, partially obscured by a large, dark green pine tree with a gnarled trunk and a lighter green weeping willow tree. Behind this wall, hazy gray forms suggest distant mountains or clouds, interspersed with patches of dark green foliage. Above the central horizontal wall, a cluster of buildings with dark, tiled roofs are nestled among dense green trees. Two slender poles, each topped with a small red flag, rise behind these structures. Below the central wall, a verdant garden space unfolds, populated by various trees with both dark and lighter green leaves. Towards the far right, a prominent open-sided building with a dark roof, light brown wooden supports, and red vertical elements stands within this garden. A low, light-colored fence delineates a section of the garden in front of this building. The sky across the upper portion of the painting is a uniform, hazy light gray.
