Two figures walk a winding path towards a building amidst towering mountains and dense foliage
Detailed Description
A circular image depicts a mountainous landscape in muted tones of brown, gray, and dark green. In the lower left, two figures walk on a winding path that ascends towards the right. The leading figure, taller and dressed in light robes, holds a long staff. A smaller figure follows closely behind. To their right, a dense cluster of dark green foliage covers the lower slope. Further right, a multi-sectioned building with a dark, tiled roof is nestled among trees, its structure visible through the foliage. The building features several windows or openings along its facade. Dominating the central and right portions of the image are two towering, steep rock formations or mountains, their peaks adorned with sparse, dark green vegetation. A faint, light-colored streak, possibly a waterfall, descends the face of the rightmost mountain. In the distant background on the left, a range of hazy, lighter-toned mountains recedes into the horizon. A subtle, pale circular shape is visible in the upper center sky. A rectangular label with vertical characters is affixed to the upper right of the image, and several red seal marks are visible within the artwork itself on the right side.
