Brief Description
Hazy landscape with a large mountain, a village by water, and faint calligraphic text
Detailed Description
A horizontal depiction of a muted, hazy landscape. On the left, a large, light gray mountain with a jagged peak rises, its slopes subtly textured with darker lines. Below the mountain, a few tall, dark green pine trees stand on a rocky, light brown outcrop. To the right of the trees, a small cluster of buildings, possibly a village, is situated near the water's edge. These structures have light brown walls and dark brown roofs, with low fences or walls surrounding some of them. Two small, dark figures appear to be walking on a path near the buildings. The landscape opens up to a wide expanse of light gray water, where two circular, light-colored shapes are visible on the surface. Faint, light brown landforms or reeds line the water's edge in the foreground. The sky is a very light, almost white, hazy color, blending seamlessly with the distant mountains and water. Several columns of dark, vertical calligraphic script are present: a short column in the upper left and two longer columns in the upper right.
