This sketch shows a rocky hillside with a temple on top. Below it, a deep gorge cuts through the land. Trees and bushes cling to the cliffs. The whole scene looks drawn quickly, with soft brown lines. The artist used ink and wash to shade the rocks and trees. The temple sits alone on the highest point, like a quiet watchtower.
