Brief Description
Snowy winter landscape with mountains, bare trees, a winding river, a small boat, and flying birds
Detailed Description
A winter landscape, depicted in shades of gray, black, and white, features a light gray sky in the upper portion of the image that gradually darkens towards the top. Below, soft, undulating snow-covered mountains or hills recede into the distance, with a faint, winding path visible on one of the slopes in the upper right quadrant. In the upper left, there is a vertical column of dark calligraphy above a square red seal. The middle ground is dominated by a winding body of water, possibly a river or lake, which curves through the scene. A small, dark boat with a single figure is visible on the water, near a subtle bridge-like structure. Above the boat, in the upper right, a small flock of birds flies in formation. Several clusters of trees, heavily laden with snow, are scattered throughout the midground, appearing on islands within the water or on its banks. The foreground features more prominent, darker trees with gnarled branches, also covered with snow, alongside snow-dusted rocks. In the lower left corner, a small, simple structure with a peaked roof is partially visible amidst the snow.
