Description
A layered mountain landscape rendered in green, ochre, and grey ink washes, with jagged peaks rising through bands of white mist and a small cluster of white-walled, dark-roofed houses tucked among trees at the base. Dark pine-like trees dot the ridgelines and lower slopes, and a column of red and black seal script appears in the upper right corner. Mountain #5, a Chinese brush painting by Xu Ming, 2014.
