Landscape

What you see

A group of tall, slender trees rises on a small bank at the center, and behind them a thatched hut peeks out among reeds. On the left, across the water, a low shore with hills and rocks recedes into the distance. Two inscriptions frame the scene, one on each side, each with its own red seals.

There is only ink, in pale greys with a few deep blacks in the foliage. The water is simply unpainted paper, which opens up the space. The banks are built from short, dry horizontal strokes. Keep an eye out for the scattered stones at lower right and the smaller signature beside the right-hand inscription.
