Detailed Description
A vertical image shows a mountainous landscape in shades of black and gray on a light background. In the upper right quadrant, several vertical lines of dark text are visible, accompanied by two square red seals positioned below the text. The upper half features a series of large mountains with varied textures; some appear rugged and bare, while others are covered with dense, dark brushstrokes that suggest forests. A body of water, possibly a river or lake, winds through the middle ground, reflecting the light sky. On the far bank, smaller hills and tree-covered slopes recede into the distance. On the near bank, a cluster of tall, slender trees with pointed tops stands, their foliage rendered with fine, dark lines. Towards the lower right, a small house with a thatched roof is situated on a gentle, grassy slope beside the water. The house features visible structural posts and a dark, open interior. Surrounding the house are several trees with gnarled trunks and full, rounded canopies. In the lower left, two small, dark, rounded shapes rest in the water near the bank. The immediate foreground on the right features a large, textured mound of earth or rock, leading down to the water's edge.
