A grayscale scene with a spotted horse grazing, a robed figure, weeping trees, and towering cliffs
Detailed Description
This vertical painting depicts a landscape in varying shades of gray. The upper half of the composition is dominated by towering, rugged cliffs or mountains on the left, rendered with textured brushstrokes that suggest rock formations and crevices. Long, drooping branches with dense, small leaves or blossoms extend from the cliffs and a large, gnarled tree on the right, hanging downwards across much of the upper and middle ground. A faint body of water or stream is visible at the base of the cliffs on the far left. In the middle ground, a spotted horse with a light-colored body and dark, irregular spots grazes on the grassy terrain, its head lowered towards the ground. Its mane and tail are dark. To the right of the horse and slightly behind it, a robed figure stands near the base of the large, gnarled tree. The figure wears a light-colored, long robe and dark shoes, and appears to be holding a small, round object, possibly a fan, in their hands. The lower portion of the painting features undulating grassy ground with a few scattered, darker rocks. The entire scene is rendered in a monochromatic palette, utilizing a range of grays from light washes to darker, more defined lines for outlines and details.
