Towering mountains, dense trees, and a cascading waterfall in a rugged landscape
Detailed Description
A vertical landscape depicts a rugged mountain scene with a cascading waterfall and dense trees. Towering, jagged peaks dominate the upper half, rendered in varying shades of black and grey, with subtle hints of light reddish-brown on some rock faces. Areas of lighter grey and white appear as mist or clouds swirling around the mid-sections of the mountains, and a faint blue wash is visible in the upper right background. In the upper right corner, black calligraphic characters read "未米" above a square red seal. Below the highest peaks, a dense forest of trees, primarily dark green and black, covers the steep slopes. A prominent waterfall descends through the center, appearing as a light, almost white, streak against the darker rock and foliage, flowing over multiple rocky ledges. In the lower half, more trees with visible light brown trunks and branches are scattered across the lower slopes and at the base of the mountains. The brushwork varies from fine lines for delicate branches to broad, textured washes for rock formations and dense foliage.
