A fan-shaped artwork depicts a mountainous landscape with a waterfall, buildings, and dense trees
Detailed Description
A landscape scene is rendered on a fan-shaped surface, depicted in black, white, and shades of gray. The upper portion features mountains, with softer, rounded peaks on the left and steeper, more jagged formations towards the center-right. A waterfall cascades down the central mountain face. In the midground, a large, gnarled tree with sparse branches stands to the left of center. To the right of center, a multi-tiered, pagoda-like structure with multiple roofs is situated on a raised platform. Below and to the left of this building are smaller, roofed structures. The right side of the midground and foreground is filled with dense, tall evergreen trees, while smaller trees and bushes are visible in the left foreground. The arrangement of elements suggests depth, with distant mountains, midground structures and trees, and foreground foliage.
