Brief Description
An ink landscape painting depicting mountains, a wide body of water, boats, and scattered buildings
Detailed Description
A horizontal ink wash painting on light-colored paper depicts a vast landscape. On the far left, a large, textured mountain rises, covered with numerous small, dark trees and several multi-tiered buildings with pointed roofs, appearing to be built into the hillside. Below this mountain, closer to the foreground, are more trees and a few smaller structures near the water's edge. Several small figures are visible on paths. The center of the painting is dominated by a wide expanse of water, with a few small boats, some with figures, scattered across its surface. The water's surface is mostly blank and unrippled. In the distance, faint outlines of more mountains or hills are visible. On the right side, another prominent mountain, similar in texture and tree coverage to the one on the left, rises. It also features a few small buildings nestled at its base and on its slopes. The trees on this mountain are depicted with fine, dark strokes. The painting uses varying shades of black ink to create depth and texture against the light background. The foreground and midground feature more detailed elements, while the background recedes into lighter, less defined forms. In the upper right corner, there is a block of vertical text in black ink, followed by a red square seal. Another red square seal is visible in the lower left corner.
