Landscape Album in Various Styles: Traveling in Autumn Mountains

A small figure rides a donkey along a rocky path beside a still lake, while a porter with a carrying pole walks ahead. Cliffs rise at left, and at right bare trees with rust-red autumn foliage and a leaning pine frame distant hills in ink wash.

Look closer: A small pine seedling stands among the rocks in the lower right, and a seal sits near the lower left corner.
