Detailed Description
A vertical landscape rendered in a monochromatic palette of grays and blacks against a light-toned background. The upper half is dominated by tall, craggy mountains, with their peaks extending towards the top edge. These mountains are rendered with varying shades of ink, creating a sense of depth and texture, and appear to recede into the distance on the left. A narrow, white waterfall cascades down the left side of the central mountain range, disappearing behind a dense cluster of dark trees in the mid-ground. These trees form a heavy, shadowed area with visible trunks and branches. At the lower left, nestled at the base of the mountains and near the waterfall's base, is a small complex of buildings with tiled roofs, depicted with fine lines. The foreground features rocky ground and more sparse trees. In the upper left quadrant, there is vertical calligraphy in black ink, accompanied by several red square seals.
