Brief Description
A mountainous landscape with trees, a small building, and calligraphic text in an ink wash painting
Detailed Description
A vertical ink wash painting on light-colored paper is mounted on a pale blue-green border. The painting depicts a mountainous landscape rendered with varying shades of black ink. In the upper third, a prominent, craggy mountain peak rises in the center, its slopes dotted with small, sparse trees indicated by fine brushstrokes. To the left of this peak, a lighter, more distant mountain range appears. In the upper left corner, vertical lines of calligraphic text are inscribed, accompanied by two red square seals below them. The middle and lower sections of the painting feature a cluster of trees and large rocks. On the left, a tall, slender tree with a gnarled trunk and sparse foliage is visible. To its right, several other trees, mostly bare-branched, rise from rocky ground. A small, simple building with a peaked roof is nestled among the trees and rocks in the lower-middle section. The foreground contains scattered rocks and faint indications of ground cover. Two red square seals are visible in the lower right corner, and one in the lower left. Delicate lines and washes create depth and texture throughout the composition.
