A landscape with mountains, dense trees, tiered buildings, a river, an arched bridge, and a small figure
Detailed Description
This horizontal landscape painting features a muted color palette dominated by browns, grays, and dark greens. The left side is densely forested with dark, slender trees, among which several traditional buildings are nestled. Two prominent structures are stacked vertically, each featuring multiple tiered roofs in shades of red-brown and dark gray. Below them, another building with a single roof is partially visible. Further left, a smaller, simpler building with a triangular roof is visible. Behind these structures, a large, dark mountain rises, its peak extending towards the top edge of the painting. Moving towards the right, the landscape opens up to a river or body of water that flows horizontally across the middle ground. The water appears dark and reflective, with lighter patches suggesting shallows or reflections. A small, arched bridge spans the water on the right side, connecting a rocky bank to the foreground. On the bridge, a small, dark figure, possibly a person, is depicted walking towards the right. The foreground on the right consists of rocky terrain and sparse vegetation. In the far background, lighter, more distant mountains are visible, fading into the muted sky. In the bottom left corner, there is a vertical column of dark calligraphic text and a red seal impression.
