Ink wash landscape with figures carrying bundles through rolling hills and dense trees
Detailed Description
A wide, multi-panel ink wash painting depicts a landscape with rolling hills, trees, and several figures. The color palette is dominated by shades of gray and black ink, with subtle washes of light brown and green on the hills and foliage, against a pale, unpainted background that suggests sky or mist. From left to right, the scene unfolds with gentle, undulating hills covered in textured, dark green foliage, receding into the distance. In the central panels, two figures walk uphill from left to right. They wear light-colored garments and carry large, dark, rectangular bundles on their backs. The ground beneath them is light, dotted with patches of darker foliage. To the right, a cluster of tall, slender trees with reddish-brown trunks and dark green, dense foliage stands prominently. Another figure, also appearing to carry a bundle, is visible among these trees, partially obscured by the landscape. More hills recede into the background on the right. In the upper right corner, a small, vertical red seal with black characters is visible.
