Detailed Description
The artwork is presented as two vertical panels, side-by-side, with a thin brown border. The left panel is filled with black calligraphic text arranged in vertical columns, starting from the top right and moving left. The characters are written with varying brushstrokes, some thick and bold, others thinner. The transcribed text reads: "萬壁樹聲萬 千歲秋色高 不公画 梅村実律業". At the bottom left of this panel, two red square seals are stamped, one above the other, with illegible characters within them. The right panel features a monochrome landscape painting, primarily in shades of black, gray, and light brown, with hints of light blue and green. The upper half of this panel is filled with a large, textured mountain range, depicted with dark, vertical brushstrokes suggesting foliage or rock formations. The mountains descend towards the lower right. In the mid-ground, at the base of the mountains on the left, are several dark trees with visible trunks and dense foliage. To their right, a small, light-colored building with a dark roof is nestled among the trees, near a body of water. The lower portion of the panel depicts a calm body of water, rendered in light blue-gray, with patches of green grass along its banks. On the right side of the water, a small, dark boat with a figure is visible. In the far right margin of the painting, a vertical line of smaller black calligraphic characters is present, transcribed as "石谷子", followed by a single red square seal at the bottom right corner.
