Ink landscape of a gnarled tree with drooping branches beside a pale rock in mist, with red seals at upper left.

Landscape in the Manner of Ma Yuan

An ink landscape on paper shows a gnarled, leafless tree with drooping branches rising beside a pale rock and mist. Dry, broken brushwork renders bark and foliage in grey washes, with a column of calligraphy and red seals at upper left.

Look closer: Red seal impressions beside the inscription and a seal at the lower left corner.
