Brief Description
A fan-shaped painting depicting a landscape with towering mountains, a body of water, and a small building
Detailed Description
The artwork is a fan-shaped painting depicting a mountainous landscape rendered in muted tones of brown, gray, and dark green. The composition is dominated by a series of tall, rugged mountains that rise from the bottom and extend towards the top and sides of the frame. On the left side, a body of water, possibly a river or lake, stretches horizontally, receding into the distance. The mountainsides are covered with numerous trees, rendered with dark, dotted foliage, some appearing as clusters and others as individual, taller forms. A few trees, particularly in the lower central and right areas, show hints of reddish-brown foliage. Towards the upper right, nestled on a mountain ledge, is a small, two-tiered building with a dark, pointed roof. A tall, thin flag or banner extends upwards from behind this building. Further mountains are visible in the background, appearing lighter and more indistinct. The overall color palette is earthy, with the main canvas being a light brown, and the mountains and trees rendered with darker grays and greens. In the lower left corner, several red rectangular seals are visible, stacked vertically.
