Long Chinese handscroll: ink mountains rising through mist on the right, columns of calligraphy on the left.

Snow Coloring the World White

A long handscroll in ink on paper. On the right, pale mountains and ridges rise through soft washes of mist, while columns of brushed calligraphy and a few characters fill the left and top right.

Look closer: Small characters in the top right corner form a column of inscription beside the seal-like marks.
