Detailed Description
A multi-panel screen painting features a vast mountain landscape against a gold background. The composition is divided into six vertical panels. The upper portion of the artwork is entirely gold, with a subtle texture suggesting gold leaf. Below this, a dense layer of mist or clouds, depicted in light gray and white, stretches across the mid-ground, obscuring the lower parts of the mountains. Dark, rugged mountains occupy the lower and right sections of the screen. These mountains are rendered in varying shades of dark gray and black, with some areas showing hints of green, possibly foliage. Several peaks are capped with white, possibly snow, particularly a prominent peak in the upper right quadrant from which a thin white waterfall cascades down. Scattered dark green trees are visible on the lower slopes and in the valleys between the mountains, especially on the far left and in the central lower area. A small, faint vertical inscription is visible on the lower right panel.
