A handscroll in ink and gold on silk features a central horizontal landscape between panels of black calligraphy. From our left to right, vertical columns of text lead to a misty mountain scene of hazy peaks and trees in muted brown tones. Next, four large, bold characters and columns of smaller script appear on the far right. Small red square seals punctuate the light tan and bronze-colored sections of the scroll throughout.
