Description
A wide lake landscape rendered in muted ink washes of grey, blue-green, and soft brown, with rolling hills and mountains receding into mist along the horizon. Clusters of small sailboats dot the calm water at varying distances, while a rocky, pine-covered shoreline occupies the right foreground, with a row of red-roofed buildings nestled among the trees near the water's edge; tall grasses and reeds line the lower foreground bank. Vertical calligraphic inscriptions and a red seal appear at left and lower right; "Fishing Village in Lake Tai," Chinese brush painting by Xu Ming, 2011.
