A vertical landscape in ink and color depicts craggy, towering mountains rising above gnarled trees with black dashes for foliage and sparse red blossoms. In the foreground, two figures sit near a solitary thatched-roof hut. A waterfall cascades between rocks on the right. In the upper left, columns of black calligraphy and red seals mark the gray sky. Layered washes and expressive brushwork create a sense of deep mountain solitude.
