Misty mountains, trees, a river, and a small boat in an ink wash landscape
Detailed Description
A vertical landscape in an ink wash style is framed by a golden-brown patterned border. In the upper half, towering, jagged mountains rise, with their peaks rendered in dark gray and their slopes covered in varying shades of green foliage. A prominent waterfall cascades down the right side of the largest mountain. Swirling white mist or clouds obscure the mid-sections of the mountains. Below the mist, a series of rolling hills, also covered in green and brown foliage, extend across the middle ground. Several trees with reddish-orange leaves are scattered among the green. A small cluster of light-colored buildings is nestled on a hillside in the mid-left. In the foreground, a dark-trunked tree with dense, dark green and brown foliage stands on the left bank of a calm river or lake. A small, light-colored boat with a single figure is positioned on the water towards the lower right. The water reflects the muted tones of the surrounding landscape. Red seals and dark calligraphic script are visible in the lower left corner of the painting.
