About this work

This painting shows a long, flat scene of mountains and trees. The colors are mostly browns, greens, and blues, with dark ink-like lines marking the shapes. On the left side, there’s a strip of vertical writing—like calligraphy—that runs the whole height of the painting. The writing looks like it’s poetry or notes, maybe about the scene itself. It’s unusual to see text mixed right into a landscape like this. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this painting in person.
