Brief Description
Monochrome ink wash painting of misty mountains, a rugged tree-lined coast, and small boats
Detailed Description
This monochrome ink wash painting depicts a landscape rendered in shades of grey and black on a light, off-white background. In the upper half, several large, rounded mountains rise, their forms softly defined and fading into the background, appearing misty or distant. Below these, a dark, jagged landmass extends from the lower left, across the middle, and curves upwards towards the right side of the composition. This landmass features numerous clusters of dark, slender trees, resembling conifers, particularly dense on the peaks and slopes. The lower portion of the painting contains water, rendered in a lighter grey, with several small, dark boats scattered across its surface. Two boats are positioned near the left shore of the landmass, while another single boat is further out in the water to the far left. In the upper right corner, there is vertical text in black ink, followed by a square red seal.
