Green and blue mountains, white clouds, small structures, and trees on a muted brown background
Detailed Description
A horizontal landscape on a muted brown ground depicts a vast mountainous scene. The left side is dominated by a dense cluster of tall, jagged mountains rendered in shades of green and blue-green, with lighter, possibly gold or white, highlights suggesting mist or clouds. Nestled within these mountains are several small, multi-tiered structures resembling pagodas and buildings, along with sparse, dark green trees. Moving towards the right, the mountains become more scattered and appear as islands or distant peaks, also in green and blue-green with similar light highlights. Stylized, wavy cloud formations in white or light gold are interspersed throughout the sky, particularly above and between the mountain ranges. The lower portion features flatter landmasses with small clusters of dark trees. The overall background is a uniform, muted brown, suggesting sky or distant haze. In the upper central and right areas, several lines of vertical black text are visible, accompanied by multiple red seal impressions of varying sizes.
