A hanging scroll in muted tones depicts a vertical landscape on tan silk. In the foreground, expressive brushstrokes define willow trees and a small hut near the water. Further back, a zig-zag bridge and clusters of houses sit along the riverbank, while rounded, undulating mountains recede into a hazy distance. Several columns of Chinese calligraphy and red seal marks occupy the upper left corner, balancing the painted composition.
