Nine Dragon Pool
A vertical hanging scroll in ink and pale color shows a white cascade tumbling through smooth, rounded rocks. A windswept pine rises on the right, and two tiny travelers walk along a path at lower left. Calligraphy in the upper left and red seals add structure to the misty, muted composition.
Look closer: Two tiny travelers walking a path at the lower left edge.
