Brief Description
A vertical scroll painting: towering mountains, temples, trees, and small figures enveloped in mist
Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting presents a towering mountainous landscape with a muted palette of browns, grays, and greens, accented by touches of red. The upper portion is dominated by tall, jagged mountains with textured brushstrokes, partially obscured by light gray mist. In the upper left, vertical black ink text is visible, followed by two red square seals and one red rectangular seal. The text reads: "淺絳山水圖 戊戌秋日寫於 雙清館 吳湖帆". Below the highest peaks, the landscape descends, revealing more hills and mountains emerging from the mist. Clusters of green trees, including pines, are scattered across the hillsides. Several small human figures, some in reddish robes, are visible on winding paths. Buildings with dark roofs and red accents are nestled among the trees and mist, with one prominent complex visible in the mid-right. Further down, the scene includes a waterfall cascading over rocks and a bridge spanning a stream. More small figures are seen crossing the bridge and walking along paths. The lowest part of the painting features a wider, flatter area with scattered rocks, trees, and what appears to be a body of water or a wide river.
