Español: Erudito que se acerca a un pabellón apartado

Una pintura en pergamino colgante, con tinta y color sobre seda, muestra un pino inclinado en el primer plano izquierdo, sobre acantilados rocosos. Más allá de montañas neblinosas, un pabellón con tejado escalonado se asienta entre los árboles, y un erudito con túnica camina por un sendero abajo, con una columna de caligrafía a la derecha.

Além de montanhas enevoadas, um pavilhão de telhado escalonado fica entre as árvores, e um erudito de túnica caminha por uma trilha abaixo, com uma coluna de caligrafia à direita.
