A hanging scroll in muted brown ink depicts a landscape of undulating mountains. In the foreground, dark calligraphic strokes convey knotted trees near a small boat on the water. To the right, thatched-roof houses nestle against a hill. Soft ink washes create hazy peaks under a pale circular moon, with a small pagoda atop a distant slope. Chinese calligraphy and a red seal mark the far right edge.
