Monochrome ink painting of numerous figures in a hilly landscape with pine trees, water, and buildings
The vertical ink wash painting depicts a sprawling landscape populated by numerous small figures, rendered in shades of black and gray on a light background. The composition is divided into multiple levels, depicting a vast scene. In the upper section, rolling hills with soft outlines recede into the distance, dotted with a few sparse pine trees and isolated figures. Moving downwards, the landscape becomes more densely populated. A winding body of water, possibly a river or lake, flows through the middle ground, bordered by more pronounced hills and clusters of pine trees with gnarled trunks and dense foliage. Many figures are scattered across these hillsides, some seated in groups, others walking or standing. A building with a dark, peaked roof and open sides is visible amidst the trees on the right side of the middle ground. The lower section of the painting features the most activity. On the left, a large procession of figures, some carrying what appear to be spears or staffs, moves across a hillside. Other figures are walking or standing nearby. On the right, two large, two-wheeled carts with prominent wheels are positioned on a sloping path, with a few figures around them. More pine trees and undulating terrain fill the foreground, completing the expansive scene.
