A monochrome landscape with a gnarled pine tree, buildings, water, figures, and faint mountains
A landscape rendered in shades of brown and grey depicts architectural elements, natural features, and figures. A prominent, gnarled pine tree with sparse needles extends diagonally from the lower right corner towards the upper left, its branches reaching over a complex of buildings. In the middle ground, a body of water, possibly a pond or lake, contains a small boat with a single figure. A bridge crosses a narrow section of this water. Several buildings with dark, tiled roofs are scattered across the lower and middle sections, surrounded by dense, dark foliage and rocks. Two figures are visible on a path or roof in the middle right, one standing and one walking away. Faint, undulating mountains rise in the background, blending into the lighter, unadorned sky. In the upper right corner, a vertical strip of lighter brown paper or silk contains dark vertical text, which reads "元張可觀".
