Landscape

Landscape with mountains, trees, and buildings by Wang Chen. Black and white drawing on a semi-circular fan-shaped piece of paper. The mountains are drawn in the background, with trees and buildings in the foreground. The mountains are depicted with varying shades of gray, with darker shading indicating depth. There are several trees scattered throughout, some bare and some with leaves. The buildings appear to be small houses or temples. The fan shape has lines radiating from the bottom indicating the stick structure. The background of the paper is off-white. There are two small red seals at the bottom of the fan. Chinese writing appears to the right of one seal.
