Monochromatic landscape with mountains, tall trees, a river, a multi-tiered building, and figures on horses
Detailed Description
The wide, horizontal landscape is rendered in a monochromatic palette of dark browns, greys, and lighter sepia tones, creating a hazy scene. In the left foreground, dark, craggy rocks rise, from which several tall, slender trees, resembling pines, extend upwards with their branches. Behind these, rounded, hazy mountains recede into the distance. Towards the center, a winding river or stream with light, textured strokes, suggesting flowing water or rapids, cuts through the midground. It flows between dark, undulating hills and rocky formations. Sparse, bare-branched trees are scattered across these hillsides. On the right side, a prominent multi-tiered building, resembling a pagoda with multiple roofs, is nestled on a mountain slope, its dark silhouette standing out. Below this building, near the river, a group of small figures and several horses are visible, appearing to traverse a path or bridge. The background on the right also features layered, hazy mountains, contributing to the sense of depth and vastness. The overall composition uses varying tonal values to define forms and create a sense of distance.
