Detailed Description
A vertical ink wash painting depicts a landscape on a light brown-tan background. The upper half of the composition is largely open, with a faint, pointed mountain peak emerging from a soft, misty background in the upper right quadrant. Below the mountain, a prominent, dark, gnarled tree or cluster of trees dominates the left-center, rendered with expressive, dark ink strokes that contrast with lighter, diffused washes suggesting mist or clouds around its base. To the right of the main tree, lighter ink washes hint at distant hills or structures. In the lower third of the painting, a small, simple bridge with two posts spans a light, misty area, possibly water or a valley. A faint, small structure, perhaps a hut, is visible to the right of the bridge. A red square seal mark is visible in the bottom right corner. The top and bottom edges of the painting are framed by decorative bands featuring a repeating geometric pattern of interconnected circles or quatrefoils in dark brown, gold, and muted red.
