Long handscroll of misty mountains, trees and a river valley in ink and pale color, with calligraphy at right.

Scholar-Hermits in the Autumn Mountains

A long handscroll section shows misty mountains, pine-covered slopes, and a river valley in ink and pale color on silk. Small figures rest among the rocks, and calligraphic inscriptions with seals fill the blank silk at right.

Look closer: Red seal impressions sit beside the calligraphy at the right end of the scroll.
