Brief Description
A wide, horizontal landscape painting featuring towering, textured mountains, dense trees, and small structures
Detailed Description
This wide, horizontal landscape is rendered in muted tones of brown, beige, and dark gray. The composition is dominated by a continuous range of large, undulating mountains that extend across the entire width of the image. The mountains are depicted with a distinctive texture of numerous parallel, wavy lines. In the left portion, a massive, rounded mountain peak rises prominently, its surface heavily textured. Below it, smaller peaks and valleys are visible, with a few small, dark structures nestled into the terrain. A body of water or a river appears at the bottom left. Moving towards the center, the mountains continue, forming a complex network of ridges and valleys. Small, dark green trees are sparsely scattered among the lower slopes and in the valleys. The right half of the painting features a less dense mountainous area, with more open space in the upper right. A cluster of tall, slender trees with dark foliage stands prominently on the far right, their trunks visible. More small structures are visible among these trees and at the base of the mountains. The sky above the mountains is a uniform, dark gray-brown, blending with the mountain tops. In the upper right corner, there is a faint red seal and some illegible text.
