Mountain Scenery

Senkaku Toshu

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting, "Mountain Scenery" by Senkaku Toshu, depicts a long, narrow landscape. The artwork features a mountain range with rugged peaks and steep cliffs. In the left section, a building with a tiled roof is nestled among trees on a cliffside. A stream runs downward along the cliff face. The mountains are rendered in shades of gray and brown, with some areas covered in trees. The sky above the mountains is light-colored, with mist or fog surrounding the mountains and cliffs. The painting is bordered by a patterned frame that is mostly shades of brown. The frame is set against a beige background.
