The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts an old landscape painting on a brown background with an off-white decorative border. The painting is rounded at the corners and shows an autumnal scene with mountains, trees, and a small building. The dominant colors are shades of brown, black, and red. The mountains are rugged and hilly with sparse vegetation. Trees are scattered throughout the scene, some have green leaves and others have red leaves. In the distance, two mountain peaks are visible on the left side. Two red stamps are on the left side of the painting. The building has a tiled roof and appears to be a small house or hut on the right side. The background of the painting is a warm brown color. The border around the painting is off-white with a floral pattern.
