Description
Layered mountain ridges in ink and pale ochre wash rise behind rocky outcrops, with a cluster of bare, wind-swept trees rendered in dark ink strokes in the foreground; a small boat or islet is faintly visible on the water between the near cliffs and the distant peaks. A red seal and vertical column of calligraphic text appear at left. *Mountain #3*, a Chinese brush painting by Xu Ming, 2014.
