Brief Description
An ink wash landscape painting on a fan, featuring mountains, trees, and a river
Detailed Description
The artwork is an ink wash landscape painting presented on a fan-shaped surface. The composition features a panoramic view of mountains, hills, and a river, rendered primarily in shades of black and grey ink on a light, possibly cream-colored ground. In the background, several prominent mountains rise, their peaks depicted with dark, textured ink strokes that appear rugged. Lighter washes of ink depict atmospheric depth and mist around their bases and between the peaks. The midground is dominated by rolling hills covered with dense clusters of trees. The trees on the right side are particularly dark and full, with individual leaves or branches suggested by varied brushwork. A lighter, more open area of trees and vegetation extends towards the left. A horizontal band of lighter ink across the middle depicts a misty valley or distant water. In the foreground, a river or stream flows from the center towards the lower left edge of the fan. Its banks are dotted with small rocks and patches of land. In the lower left corner, near the river, there are a few indistinct shapes rendered in a faint yellowish-brown hue. In the upper left quadrant, several columns of vertical text are inscribed in black calligraphic script. Below and slightly to the left of the text, a small red square seal is visible. The radial lines of the fan structure are visible throughout the entire painted surface.
