Brief Description
Two panels: vertical black script, red seals, and a monochromatic mountain landscape with a bridge
Detailed Description
The artwork is divided into two vertical panels against a light, off-white background. The left panel is filled with vertical lines of black script, written from top to bottom and right to left. The characters are dense and uniform in size. Towards the bottom left, a square red seal is visible, partially overlapping the script. The right panel features a monochromatic depiction of a mountainous landscape. Tall, jagged mountains dominate the composition, rendered with dark ink washes and fine lines that delineate forms and suggest varying distances. The mountains rise steeply, with a prominent, narrow bridge connecting two peaks in the upper-middle section. Below the bridge, the mountains continue downwards, revealing small, simple structures nestled at their bases and on various ledges. A few sparse trees or bushes are depicted on the mountain slopes. In the lower right quadrant of this panel, a vertical inscription in smaller black characters is present, accompanied by two square red seals, one above the other.
