Brief Description
Vertical ink wash painting of mountains, a wide body of water, bare trees, and calligraphy
Detailed Description
A vertical ink wash painting features a landscape rendered primarily in shades of grey, black, and white, with subtle hints of reddish-pink. The top left quarter of the painting contains vertical lines of black calligraphy, followed by a small, square red seal. The upper half of the painting is dominated by a range of mountains, some with textured, horizontal brushstrokes suggesting snow or rock formations, and others with smoother, rounded contours. The sky above the mountains is a light, hazy grey. Below the mountains, a wide body of water, also in light grey tones, stretches across the mid-ground. Several dark, rounded objects, possibly rocks or small islands, are visible in the water on the left. A small, narrow boat with a pointed bow floats near the right bank. The right side of the painting features a steep, rocky bank covered with numerous bare trees. These trees have delicate, branching limbs, many adorned with small, reddish-pink buds or leaves. More dark, rounded rocks are scattered along the base of the bank and in the immediate foreground.
