Fan-shaped ink wash painting: a mountainous landscape with a multi-tiered building, water, and small figures
Detailed Description
This fan-shaped, black and white ink wash painting shows a detailed landscape. In the foreground, a body of water stretches across the lower left and center, with dark, jagged rock formations and tall, thin reeds along its banks. A small boat with a single figure is visible on the water towards the left. On a prominent rocky outcrop in the lower right, a figure is seated or standing. A winding path ascends from the lower right towards a large, multi-tiered building situated on a hill in the mid-right. This building features a distinctive, multi-layered roof and is surrounded by trees. Numerous small figures are scattered along the path and throughout the landscape. In the midground and background, rolling hills and mountains rise, densely covered with trees and foliage, rendered in varying shades of gray.
