A horizontal handscroll in muted browns and grays depicts a landscape on silk with white borders. On the far left, a dense block of vertical calligraphy borders a wide river with a lone boat. Craggy, undulating mountains with sparse trees and small buildings dominate the center. Receding mountains fade toward the right, followed by four large, bold Chinese characters. Fine lines and light washes convey the texture of rocks and foliage (see "Inscriptions").
