An ink and wash painting in muted colors depicts a mountain landscape shrouded in hazy, white mist. Soft, undulating brushstrokes define a rounded peak on the left where a waterfall cascades. In the center, thatched-roof houses sit on a stone platform. Clusters of dark trees with leafy brushstrokes anchor the foreground. Vertical Chinese calligraphy and a red square seal mark the left edge, while horizontal gray washes create a layered sky.
