Brief Description
Fan-shaped ink wash painting of a landscape with a building, trees, a fence, and calligraphy
Detailed Description
A fan-shaped painting, rendered in black and gray ink wash, depicts a landscape scene on an off-white ground. Faint, radiating lines are visible across the fan's surface. On the left, multiple columns of vertical black calligraphy extend from the top left curve towards the bottom center. Adjacent to the calligraphy, a large, dark-foliaged tree with a visible trunk stands. Further right, another tree with similar dark foliage is depicted. In the middle ground, a low, dark fence or wall runs horizontally, partially obscuring a small, simple structure with a dark, sloped roof and lighter walls. A small, indistinct figure, possibly a person, is visible near this structure. More vertical black calligraphy occupies the upper right portion. Near the bottom left of the painted landscape, two small red seals are present. The ink wash technique creates varying tones and textures throughout the landscape elements.
