An ink and color painting on silk depicts a mountain landscape in muted browns and greens. On the left, stacked rectangular rock formations form a jagged peak. A thin waterfall drops vertically between sheer cliffs in the center. Figures with light skin tones in pale robes traverse a winding hillside path on the right. Two stand gazing at the falls, while others lead pack animals through sparse trees below faint mountains in the distance.
