A hanging scroll in ink and color depicts a vertical landscape with vibrant blue and green rock formations. In the foreground, red trees grow near a river and a figure with light skin tone sits inside a small building. Billowing white clouds weave through the middle ground, separating the foliage from towering mountains in the upper third. Chinese calligraphy (see "Inscriptions") is located in the upper left corner against a muted brown background.
