A hanging scroll in ink depicts a monumental mountain rising above a river valley. Streaky gray brushstrokes and dark moss dots texture the steep, undulating slopes. In the foreground, twisted pine trees grow from rocky ground beside winding water. A small cluster of houses nestles at the base of the middle hills. Chinese calligraphy and a red seal feature in the upper left corner against the pale paper sky.
