Detailed Description
A tall, vertical ink painting shows a vast mountainous landscape rendered in shades of gray and black on a light background. The upper third is dominated by towering, jagged mountains. On the left, a massive peak features a sheer, textured cliff face, with a misty waterfall descending from its heights. To the right, smaller, rounded mountains are densely covered in dark, pine-like trees. A faint, circular lighter area is visible in the upper left sky, and vertical lines of calligraphy with two red seals appear in the upper right. The middle section shows a winding river flowing from the upper left towards the lower right, its banks steep and rocky. Numerous trees, rendered with textured brushstrokes, cover the hillsides. Several small, simple structures with peaked roofs are nestled among the trees, particularly on the right side of the river. A misty waterfall descends from the upper left, blending into the river below. In the lower third, the river widens and curves, continuing its path towards the lower right. More trees, including some with long, drooping branches, line the banks. The foreground consists of rocky terrain and a few more indistinct structures. Detailed brushwork suggests depth and atmosphere throughout the expansive scene.
