Brief Description
A vertical painting depicts a misty mountainous landscape with trees, waterfalls, and buildings
Detailed Description
This vertical painting, rendered in shades of black and gray on a light brown paper, portrays a vast, layered mountainous landscape shrouded in mist. The composition is dense with natural elements and scattered human-made structures, creating a sense of depth and scale. In the upper section, towering, rounded mountains with dark, textured peaks emerge from thick, swirling mist that obscures their bases and valleys. As the eye moves downward, more layers of mountains and hills appear, heavily dotted with dark, dense trees. Several waterfalls cascade down the rocky slopes, particularly visible in the upper-middle and middle sections. Nestled among the trees on various ledges and clearings are small buildings with sloped roofs, including a multi-tiered, pagoda-like structure in the upper-middle right. The mist continues to weave through the landscape, creating soft transitions between foreground and background elements. In the lower third of the painting, the landscape opens slightly to reveal a body of water flowing horizontally across the lower right. A long, arched bridge with multiple supports spans this water, connecting two landmasses. On the far left, a prominent, gnarled tree with dark foliage stands on a rocky outcrop, with another building visible on a lower hill. The foreground features scattered rocks and sparse vegetation. Vertical calligraphic text is visible on the right side of the painting.
