Reminiscences of Qinhuai River

A tall, rounded rock rises at the center, its surface built up in textured ink strokes and warm ochre washes. Behind it, pines and a cluster of white-walled houses with grey tiled roofs sit on a slope below a pale, hazy hill, with red seals along the edges.

Look closer: A red artist's seal sits along the right edge beside the winding path.
