Brief Description
Ink painting of multiple figures in a mountainous landscape with trees and water across two panels
Detailed Description
A two-panel ink wash painting on light-colored paper depicts multiple figures within a landscape. The artwork is rendered in shades of black and gray, with varying brushstrokes creating depth and texture. The left panel features two main figures. On the far left, a figure with flowing robes stands on a rocky outcrop, looking upwards, with a tall, slender rock formation rising behind them. To their right, a smaller figure, possibly a child, leads an ox or water buffalo across the foreground, positioned near the base of a large, gnarled tree with sparse foliage. In the background of the left panel, faint, distant mountains and trees are visible, with a body of water in the middle ground. The right panel presents a group of three figures. Two figures are seated or kneeling on the ground in the foreground, facing towards the left. One is seated on a low rock, while the other is on the ground in front of them. A third figure stands slightly behind and to the right of the seated pair, facing towards them. The background of the right panel shows gently rolling hills and sparse vegetation, with a tree branch extending downwards from the top edge of the panel. The overall composition suggests a continuous landscape across both panels, with figures engaged in different activities.
