Detailed Description
This horizontal painting depicts a mountainous landscape with a large building and a figure on horseback, rendered in muted earthy tones. On the left, a prominent multi-tiered building with green-tiled roofs and red-brown walls is set into a steep, rocky hillside. It features several levels, each with a distinct, curved roofline. Below and around this main structure, smaller green-roofed buildings and trees with red and green foliage are visible. The hillside itself is a blend of brown and green, with dark rock formations. A small, faint red seal or inscription is present in the lower left corner. To the right, a person dressed in a red garment rides a light-colored horse, moving leftward from the right edge of the frame along a winding path. The path is surrounded by scattered trees and shrubs, some displaying vibrant red leaves, others green. In the background, several peaks rise, rendered in lighter, softer shades of brown and green, appearing distant. The sky above is a muted, warm brown-yellow, blending seamlessly with the distant mountains. The overall color palette is dominated by ochres, browns, and greens, accented by the reds of the building and foliage.
