Detailed Description
The painting is a vertical composition depicting a detailed mountainous landscape with human figures and structures. The upper portion features a light blue-grey sky. In the upper left, two red square seals are visible, along with black calligraphic text arranged vertically. The text reads: "極醉翁亭", "戊午二月上浣". Rolling green mountains with dark green tree lines cover most of the background and midground, receding into the distance with lighter hues. On the right side, a multi-tiered building with a dark, curved roof is nestled into a mountain slope, with a thin white waterfall cascading down from a point near it. Several large, gnarled trees with dark green foliage are prominent in the midground, particularly on the right and center. In the foreground, a winding path with a low, light-colored wall on its right edge leads through the landscape. Groups of people, dressed in robes of various colors like beige, light red, and blue, are walking along this path. Some individual figures are also visible on higher mountain paths. A body of water or a river is visible in the lower left, with a single figure near its edge. Pine trees with dark green needles are prominent in the lower center and left. The overall color palette is muted greens, blues, and browns, with areas of light grey and beige.
