About this work

This painting is a six-panel screen with a serene landscape. The top half features a hazy sky with mountains, while the bottom half shows a tree and bushes in the foreground, with more mountains in the background. The colors are muted, with shades of brown, gray, and beige. A quiet detail is the subtle use of gold leaf in the sky, adding a touch of warmth to the overall scene.
