Description
A jagged mountain range rendered in ink and wash, its upper peaks tinged with pale orange-brown against grey rock, rises above a band of white mist that divides the composition. Below, dark green pine trees cover steep slopes flanking a narrow gorge, where a cluster of small red-roofed buildings sits beside a winding stream or path. Calligraphic inscriptions and a red seal appear in the upper left corner. Mountain #4, a Chinese brush painting by Xu Ming, 2014.
