A hanging scroll depicts a misty landscape in gray ink. On the right, dark pine trees surround buildings with peaked roofs. In the center, a hazy mountain mass rises above water where a tiny boat carries one figure. Columns of black calligraphy and a red square seal mark the far left while faint hills recede behind. Soft, blurred washes create the foggy atmosphere, while sharp, black brushstrokes define the text and the detailed pine needles.
