Description
This horizontally oriented wall scroll presents an up-close view of a mountainous landscape. Three series of peaks recede directly into the compositional space, one at the left edge, one in the center, and one at the right edge; mist-filled valleys separate the series of peaks. The valley at the viewer's left includes a waterfall that descends precipitously from the top of the composition to a mist-enshrouded area in the middleground, where it disappears from view; it re-emerges in the foreground, at the bottom of the composition. The mountain sides are steep and rocky, so that the few trees and scant other vegetation is limited mainly to the tops of the peaks. The painting is executed in ink on paper, using a very dry brush.
