Ink wash painting of a person on a donkey, with distant mountains and trees
Detailed Description
A vertical ink wash painting on light brown paper depicts a figure riding a donkey with distant mountains and trees. The upper third of the painting shows a distant mountain range rendered with broad, sweeping strokes of dark ink. A cluster of dark, vertical lines represents trees atop the mountain. Faint, dark calligraphy is visible in the upper left portion of this mountain scene. The lower two-thirds of the painting are dominated by a figure riding a donkey. The figure wears a wide-brimmed hat and flowing garments, depicted with dark ink outlines and lighter washes. The donkey is shown in profile, facing right, with its legs bent. Its form is also rendered with dark ink. The ground beneath the donkey is indicated by subtle, horizontal ink strokes. To the left of the rider, a faint square seal or mark is visible. The overall composition is sparse, with significant empty space around the subjects. The central painting is bordered by a narrow, light gold strip adorned with a subtle floral pattern. This is enclosed by a wider, teal-colored border featuring a repeating geometric pattern of interconnected shapes. The outermost edges of the image are black.
