A horizontally oriented ink painting on a folding screen looks across a wide, misty landscape. On the right, tiered pavilions nestle among craggy peaks. In the center, spindly evergreens grow atop a jagged cliff jutting into still water. To the left, a village clusters along a hilly shoreline near masted boats. Faint mountain silhouettes and soft ink washes recede across the muted, beige paper, creating a sense of vast distance.
