A hanging scroll in monochromatic ink depicts a mountain landscape with streaky, gray lines layered over with darker outlines. Craggy peaks rise through misty clouds, with dense brushstrokes conveying foliage. In the foreground, tall trees with individually detailed leaves stand near a building. A tiny figure crosses a bridge over a winding stream, while small houses are nestled in valleys. Chinese calligraphy and red seals appear in the upper right corner.
