Detailed Description
A tall, vertical scroll painting depicts a monochromatic landscape in dark brown, gray, and sepia tones. The upper third features towering, craggy mountains with sharp peaks and deep valleys, rendered with dark, textured brushstrokes that recede into a lighter, hazy background. Below the mountains, a dense forest of tall, slender trees with dark trunks and foliage dominates the middle ground, extending towards the foreground. Some trees have lighter, possibly autumnal, leaves, creating a subtle contrast. On the right side, a narrow waterfall cascades down the mountainside, disappearing into the dense tree line. A small, dark figure is visible near the base of the waterfall, partially obscured by the trees. In the lower right, a winding path or stream emerges from the forest, flowing towards the lower left corner. The lower left portion of the painting contains vertical lines of dark script, followed by two red square seals.
