A hanging scroll in black ink depicts a landscape with tall mountains, mist, and trees. In the foreground, two small figures walk beneath gnarled pine trees with spindly branches. Above, buildings with thatched roofs, including one on stilts, are nestled against craggy cliffs. Jagged, steep peaks rise into a hazy sky in the background. A teal border with gold floral patterns frames the painting.
