The top right section depicts a spring scene with blossoming trees and greenery. The bottom left section features a summer scene with lush green trees and foliage. The bottom right section shows an autumn scene with trees displaying vibrant orange and yellow leaves. The entire painting is rendered in shades of black, gray, and white, with red seals and calligraphy throughout. The artist's name, Shitao (also known as Zhu Ruoji), and the title, "Landscapes of the Four Seasons," are written in black calligraphy on the left side. Red stamps are placed in each corner of the painting. The background of the painting is a light beige color. The composition is simple and serene, with a focus on natural scenery. Hills and mountains are depicted in the background. Trees and bushes are scattered throughout the landscape. A small house or hut is visible in the winter scene. The overall style is traditional Chinese ink painting.
