Brief Description
A monochrome ink landscape painting featuring mountains, water, bare trees, a small house, and calligraphy
Detailed Description
This vertical monochrome ink painting on light, aged paper depicts a landscape. The upper third of the scroll features columns of black ink calligraphy, with a small red seal positioned below the text on the right. Below the calligraphy, the landscape unfolds, beginning with distant, softly outlined mountains that recede into the background. A wide expanse of water or mist separates these mountains from the mid-ground. On the right side of the mid-ground, a cluster of tall, slender trees with mostly bare branches extends downwards, their trunks rendered with fine ink lines. Some sparse foliage is visible on a few branches. In the lower left quadrant, a single-story house with a peaked roof is nestled among gently rolling hills or large rocks. A winding path or stream flows in front of the house and continues towards the lower right. The foreground features textured ground and various rock formations. Two red seals are visible in the lower right corner of the painting.
