Brief Description
Two deer on a rocky slope with a pine tree, beside a panel of vertical text
Detailed Description
The artwork is presented as two vertical panels, each with a light, neutral-colored background. The left panel features several columns of vertical text written in black ink, with a few red seals stamped at the bottom. The text reads: "木石廬山雨鹿岸玉几口外心晴分如今洞口晴多少料得人間印版文差是題". The right panel displays an ink drawing of a mountainous landscape with two deer. The deer are depicted with antlers and spotted coats, rendered in black and gray ink. One deer stands in the foreground, facing left, while the other stands further back and higher on the slope, facing right. Both deer are positioned on a rocky, uneven terrain with sparse vegetation indicated by short, vertical strokes. A pine tree with dark, clustered needles and a gnarled branch extends from the upper right, overhanging the mountain slope. The drawing uses varying shades of black and gray to create depth and texture for the rocks and foliage.
