Detailed Description
The vertical artwork depicts a towering, craggy mountain landscape rendered in shades of grey and black ink on a light beige ground. A massive, multi-layered rock formation dominates the central and upper portions of the composition, featuring sharp angles and textured surfaces. Dark, feathery pine trees cling to various ledges and slopes of this central peak and smaller surrounding mountains. The background is a lighter, hazy wash, suggesting distance or mist. On a prominent ledge on the lower right side of the central mountain, a small human figure stands, facing right. The figure wears a reddish-brown robe and appears to hold a long staff. Below this figure, a faint suggestion of water or a waterfall is visible. The lower left foreground shows a sloping hillside with sparse vegetation. A small red seal is visible in the bottom left corner.
