A vertical scroll painting of a lush mountainous landscape, featuring buildings, a waterfall, and figures on a bridge
Detailed Description
This vertical scroll painting depicts a detailed mountainous landscape. The upper section features towering, verdant green mountains, some shrouded in mist, with distant peaks fading into the background. A small red circle, possibly a sun, is visible between two mountain peaks. Nestled within the upper mountains are small buildings with red, possibly curved, roofs, surrounded by pine trees and flowering trees with pink blossoms. A waterfall cascades down the middle of the mountains, flowing into the lower sections. The central part of the painting showcases a larger complex of buildings with green, possibly curved, roofs and teal-colored accents. Figures are visible inside one of these structures. Large, dark green pine trees are prominent, framing the buildings and contributing to the dense foliage. Wisps of mist or clouds drift through this area, partially obscuring the landscape. Small white birds are depicted flying in the sky above the central buildings. The lower section reveals a body of water, possibly a river or lake. A red arched bridge spans the water, with two figures crossing it. A large weeping willow tree with bare branches stands prominently near the water's edge, alongside other deciduous trees, some showing pink blossoms. On the right bank, a winding path leads into the distance, and several small, deer-like animals are seen grazing. Additional smaller buildings are scattered near the water. The entire scene is framed by a blue border with a repeating pattern.
