Detailed Description
A horizontal ink painting on a light brown ground, rendered primarily in shades of dark grey and black. The composition features a wide body of water in the foreground and middle ground, with landforms and structures in the distance. On the far left, a small, dark boat is visible on the water, with a faint, dark landmass beyond it. Further to the right, another small, dark boat is positioned on the water. Above the water, on a distant landmass, two multi-tiered structures rise prominently. These buildings are surrounded by dark, clustered forms that suggest trees or dense foliage. The landscape continues towards the right with undulating, dark grey mountain ranges or hills that recede into the background, becoming lighter and less defined. The far right of the painting shows a large, indistinct landmass or mountain, rendered in soft, dark grey tones. A reddish-brown area is visible along the right edge, possibly a discoloration of the material. The sky above is a uniform light brown, matching the paper or silk ground.
