Brief Description
Ink wash landscape painting depicting layered mountains, bare trees, and small buildings by a body of water
Detailed Description
An ink wash landscape painting on a light brown ground depicts a vast mountainous scene with scattered trees and small structures. The composition is dominated by numerous mountains that recede into the background, rendered with varying shades of gray and black ink. In the distance, mountains appear hazy and layered, while closer peaks show more defined contours and textured brushstrokes. Throughout the midground and foreground, numerous bare trees with intricate, dark branches are scattered across the slopes and valleys. To the left, a body of water, possibly a river or lake, extends from the left edge towards the center of the painting. Along its banks and nestled among the trees are several small, simple buildings with dark roofs. A faint path or road appears to wind through the lower part of the landscape. The overall color palette consists of dark gray and black ink on a warm, light brown ground. On the far right side of the artwork, a vertical inscription reads "谷雲畫" followed by a red square seal.
