Ink wash landscape with a waterfall, pavilion on a hill, flying bird, and calligraphic text
Detailed Description
This two-page artwork features an ink wash landscape painting on the left page and vertical calligraphic text on the right page, both rendered in black ink on light-colored paper. The left page depicts a mountainous scene dominated by a tall waterfall cascading down the left side. In the center, a large, rounded hill rises, its surface textured with concentric swirling lines. Perched atop this hill is a small, multi-tiered pavilion, surrounded by sparse foliage. Several pine trees with textured trunks and needle-like branches are visible in the foreground, extending from the lower center to the right. A small, indistinct figure or boat is situated near the base of these trees. In the upper right portion of the painted area, a bird with outstretched wings flies. Faint, undulating mountain ranges appear in the distant background on the right. Two red seals are present on the painted page, one in the upper right and another in the lower right. The right page contains multiple columns of untranscribable vertical calligraphic text, written in black ink, with several red seals interspersed among and below the characters.
