An ink and light color painting on paper depicts a serene landscape within a square composition. On the left, a cluster of trees with black, green, and reddish-pink foliage rises from a rocky bank. A solitary figure sits near the center, overlooking a stream that leads toward a rocky mound and pale blue mountains. Chinese calligraphy and a red seal mark the upper right corner.
