Landscape after Guo Zhongshu

An ink landscape on paper showing towering rock cliffs and misty peaks, with pines clinging to ledges. A small thatched hut and a tiny figure on a path sit near the lower left, while a stream winds through the foreground. The brush strokes are dry, sparse and angular.

Look closer: A tiny figure walks on the path beside the stream near the lower center.
