This handscroll features ink on paper, depicting undulating mountains with soft, spiraling brushstrokes and black ink dabs representing vegetation. Dark, textured trees grow along rocky ridges in the foreground. To the right, a small building with curved roofs is nestled among pines. A flat expanse of mist fills the middle ground on the left. At top center, columns of Chinese characters are positioned next to two square, red stamps.
