Brief Description
A landscape painting in ink wash showing mountains, gnarled pine trees, and two figures on horseback
Detailed Description
This horizontal ink wash painting on a light brown, aged surface depicts a mountainous landscape with prominent pine trees and small figures. The upper half of the painting features a range of mountains rendered in light, hazy ink washes. A faint, multi-tiered structure, possibly a building or temple, is visible among the distant mountains in the upper-middle. The midground and foreground are dominated by several large pine trees with dark, gnarled trunks and dense clusters of needles. Their branches extend horizontally, some reaching towards the right side of the composition. Rocks and smaller vegetation are visible at the bases of these trees. In the lower right quadrant, two small figures on horseback travel along a path. The leading figure is slightly larger than the one following. The entire scene is rendered in varying shades of black and gray ink on the warm, light brown background. The far right edge of the artwork features a vertical strip of light gold-colored material with faint, intricate decorative patterns. Below this patterned strip, two small red seals are visible, one above the other.
