Brief Description
A multi-panel screen painting depicting a vast landscape with mountains, water, boats, buildings, and figures
Detailed Description
This horizontal, multi-panel screen painting depicts a panoramic landscape scene across its upper section, with a decorative border along the bottom. The overall color palette is muted, dominated by golden-browns, grays, and dark greens. The upper landscape section features a wide expanse of water in the midground, with distant, hazy mountains fading into a light golden-brown sky in the background. On the far left, a steep, rocky hill with tall pine trees rises, and small figures are seen climbing a path. Below this hill, a complex of buildings, possibly an estate or temple, is nestled among trees, with numerous figures gathered around. In the center, several large, dark-hulled boats with tall masts are moored near the shore, while smaller boats are scattered across the water. Further right, dramatic, steep mountains rise from the water, featuring a prominent waterfall cascading down one face. At the base of these mountains, a cluster of buildings, including a pagoda-like structure, is visible. More distant, layered mountains extend to the far right. The bottom section of the screen consists of a continuous decorative border, divided into rectangular panels. Each panel displays a repeating pattern of dark, stylized floral or geometric motifs on a golden-brown background.
