A vertically oriented drawing in ink on paper depicts a dark, textured mountain spanning the center with cross-hatched shadows. Below the mountain, figures stand under large umbrellas; white pigment highlights those on our right. At the base, birds swim in a stream. Above the peak, tall grasses and peacocks gather beneath a sky of swirling lines. Fluid ink strokes define the figures and rocky terrain throughout.
