Brief Description
A black and white ink landscape with snowy mountains, trees, buildings, a lake, and small figures
Detailed Description
The vertical, black and white ink painting depicts a vast, snow-covered mountain landscape. In the upper portion, a dark, textured sky extends above a wide body of water, possibly a lake or river, with distant, undulating hills or mountains on the far bank. The middle ground is dominated by towering, craggy mountains, heavily textured with ink washes and lines, their peaks and upper slopes covered in white snow. Bare, dark trees with intricate branches are scattered across the mountainsides and valleys, contrasting with the white snow. Several multi-story buildings with curved, tiered roofs are nestled among the mountains, some appearing on ledges overlooking the water. A small boat with a sail is visible on the water to the right. In the lower portion, snow-covered rocks and trees frame a winding path that ascends from the bottom left, where small figures can be seen walking. The scene is rendered with detailed brushwork and varying shades of ink.
