Landscape in the Style of Chao Yuan by Zhai Dakun: The painting depicts a landscape scene with mountains, trees, and a building. The artwork is rendered on a brownish-tan background with darker brown and black ink. The scene features several trees in the foreground, some with bare branches and others with foliage. A structure resembling a house or temple is visible behind the trees. The mountains in the background are rendered in a range of dark and light browns, with some areas appearing misty. The upper-left corner contains vertical black calligraphy. Two red seals are visible, one in the upper-left corner and another in the lower-left corner. The artwork is bordered by a thin off-white frame.
