Conversation in Autumn

A hanging scroll in ink and light color on paper shows a tall, mist-wrapped peak rising at left above a thatched pavilion half hidden by bamboo and pines. Large dark rocks sit in the foreground, and vertical columns of inscription run down the right side.

Look closer: Red seal stamps are placed near the lower left and along the right margin beside the inscription columns.
