Enjoying the Moon: Landscape in the Manner of Wang Meng

A tall vertical hanging scroll in ink on paper shows craggy, layered mountains rising above a riverside pavilion nestled among trees. Brushwork is dense and textured, with a small figure path and a bridge near the lower center, and calligraphic inscriptions run down the upper right.

Look closer: A small figure walks along a path near the lower center beside the pavilion.
