Landscape in Moonlight
A hanging scroll in ink on silk shows misty mountain peaks rising at left and right above a band of cloud. A small pavilion with a tiled roof sits on a rocky shore at lower center, while a faint moon-pale haze fills the upper space.
Look closer: A small red seal and inscription in the lower left, beside the cliff edge.
