Detailed Description
A tall, narrow ink painting on a light brown ground shows a towering mountainous landscape. In the upper right, a block of vertical black text is visible, followed by two red seal impressions. The upper portion of the painting features several rounded, misty mountain peaks receding into the distance. Below these, a large, craggy mountain dominates the upper half, its steep, textured slopes rendered with dark ink washes and fine brushstrokes. Dense clusters of trees with dark foliage cling to the ridges and crevices of the mountains. A prominent, tall, slender tree with a gnarled trunk stands vertically in the lower-middle, its branches extending outwards. Further down, a winding path or stream is suggested in the lower right, leading towards a small, open-sided pavilion with a tiled roof, situated near the water's edge. More trees and scattered rocks populate the middle and lower sections. The foreground on the left features a large, rounded rock formation, with smaller rocks and sparse vegetation in the lower right. The artwork uses varying shades of black ink to create depth and texture.
