Two robed figures sit under gnarled pine trees on a cliff overlooking misty mountains
Detailed Description
An ink painting shows a mountainous landscape with two figures. Several large pine trees with dark, gnarled trunks and dense, dark ink clusters of needles dominate the left and center. Their branches extend across much of the upper and middle sections. On the left, beneath the pine trees, two robed figures are seated on a gentle, light brown slope. They face each other. Their robes are light-colored, and their forms are simple. Below the figures and trees, a steep, dark brown cliff face drops sharply. To the right of the cliff, a misty valley is visible, with faint, dark vertical lines suggesting distant trees. In the upper right, a large, rounded mountain peak rises, partially obscured by a reddish-brown wash. The painting's muted color palette consists primarily of shades of brown, beige, and dark grey ink, accented by the reddish-brown wash in the upper right.
