About this work

The painting shows a deep valley surrounded by mountains. It's drawn with pen and brown ink, and has a brown wash over it. The artist used simple lines to create a sense of depth and distance. The use of brown ink and wash gives the painting a warm, earthy feel. This suggests the artist was trying to create a cozy atmosphere. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: cross-hatching.
