Page from the Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting by Wang Gai. The image shows an old, open book with a drawing of a landscape. The drawing is in black, gray, and white ink and depicts a mountainous scene. There are several trees, some bare and some with leaves, and a few buildings. The sky is cloudy. The page is yellowed with age and has Chinese writing in black ink at the top. There is a red seal or stamp on the left side of the page. The book's pages are off-white and have a rough texture. The drawing takes up most of the page, with a thin black border around it. The background behind the book is white.
