Dwelling in the Longmian ("Sleeping Dragon") Mountains is a 1200 unspecified by Li Gonglin, a Song Landscape work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a mountain landscape with trees, rocks, and a few people. The mountains are drawn in a way that makes them look like they're moving, with lots of lines and shapes. There are some trees and bushes around, and a few people are walking or standing in the scene. One person is sitting under a tree, and another is standing near a rock. The painting is done in a style that makes it look old and worn, like it's been around for a long time. The colors are muted, with lots of browns and grays. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity, like the painting is trying to show us a peaceful place.
