A vertical painting depicts towering grey mountains, reddish trees, and buildings amidst swirling clouds
This vertical painting depicts a mountainous landscape with a muted color palette of grey-blue, reddish-orange, and light brown. The composition is divided into several layers by swirling white clouds. In the upper section, towering, rugged mountains with grey-blue and brown tones dominate the background. The highest peak is on the right, with a smaller, rounded peak on the left. Several red seals are visible, including a circular one centered at the very top. Faint black text appears vertically along the right edge and in the upper left corner. Midway down the painting, a band of white, wispy clouds horizontally traverses the scene, separating the upper mountains from the lower landscape. Below these clouds, on the right, a cluster of trees with vibrant reddish-orange foliage grows on a rocky cliff face. Further down and to the right, a building with a dark roof and red walls is partially visible, nestled into the mountain. On the left side, another building with a dark roof and red walls sits on flatter ground near a body of water or open field. Scattered reddish-orange trees and some bare, dark-branched trees are visible in the foreground and mid-ground. The lower portion of the painting continues with rocky formations and patches of green-grey, leading to a flat, light brown area at the bottom. Visible text includes: "唐楊升白雲紅樹圖嘉慶戊申" vertically along the right edge, and "楊" vertically in the upper left.
