Long, horizontal landscape painting on brown silk with a gold border at top and bottom. The painting depicts a mountainous scene with many tall, jagged peaks and a few trees. The peaks are dark brown and gray, some with flat tops. The background is a lighter brown color with subtle gradations of tone. The overall style is monochromatic, with minimal color variation. The composition spans the entire width of the painting, with no visible subjects in the foreground or background beyond the mountains and trees.
