A small boat with a figure on water, near a large cliff, a pine tree, and reeds
Detailed Description
A vertical composition shows a large, light-colored cliff face dominating the right side, extending from the top to the bottom edge. Its surface is rendered with subtle grey washes and faint, darker lines suggesting contours, with some darker, almost black brushstrokes indicating vegetation or shadows along its upper right and near its base. On the left, a prominent pine tree extends its branches across the upper left and central areas. Its needles are depicted with short, light blue-green strokes, and several thin, dark lines represent hanging vines or roots from its branches. The bottom third of the composition features a body of water, rendered with horizontal washes of light grey. Along the water's edge in the foreground, numerous thin, dark grey and black strokes depict reeds or tall grasses. A small, light-colored boat with a single figure seated within it is positioned in the water, slightly right of center, near the base of the cliff and below the pine tree's branches. The figure is depicted with simple, dark strokes. Several vertical lines of dark script are visible on the right side of the cliff face, reading: "巖下有此人製 鬆圖程嘉燧". Numerous red square and rectangular seals are stamped throughout the composition: two in the upper right corner, one below the script, one in the lower right corner, two in the lower left corner, and one in the upper left corner.
