Detailed Description
A rectangular landscape painting on a light brown, textured surface is framed by a lighter, patterned border. The background features dark, misty mountains, with a visible waterfall cascading down one of the peaks on the left side. The middle ground is dominated by a wide expanse of water, rendered in a muted, brownish tone, appearing as a lake or river. In the foreground, on the left, a cluster of dark, slender trees grows atop a rocky outcrop. Another group of similar trees is visible on a smaller rock formation further to the right in the foreground. The overall color palette is subdued, primarily in shades of brown, gray, and dark green. In the upper right quadrant, several vertical columns of dark, calligraphic script are present. The script reads: "高雅誰能敵 寂寞寄幽獨 龍池記嘉會 蘭亭想逸風 郁郁名園樹 蕭蕭古澗松 聊復開襟抱 茲焉托始終 丙子嘉平月 嘉興沈周" followed by a small red seal.
