A hanging scroll depicts pale, jagged mountains interspersed with mist. A thatched hut on stilts sits over craggy rocks in the foreground. Inside, two figures are portrayed through brief brushstrokes. To the right, a gnarled tree and a tall pine with dark, frenzied dashes for leaves grow from cliffs. Vertical calligraphy and red seals occupy the upper left. Repeated, short lines and ink washes create the atmospheric scene.
