Unidentified artist

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Sepia-toned landscape painting on aged paper. Mountain range spans across the background, with peaks varying in height. The tallest peak on the left side is sharp and pointed. The mountains are shaded in dark gray with lighter gray mist. In the foreground, a body of water appears to be calm. Trees are clustered on land in the lower-left corner. A few buildings are nestled amongst the trees. The roofs of the buildings are visible. Two red seals are stamped in the upper-right corner. Chinese characters are written vertically on the right edge.
