Streams and Mountains without End

A long horizontal handscroll shows ink-wash mountains, rocky peaks, dense clustered trees and mist rising across a pale silk ground. Red seals appear near the right and left edges, and the landscape unfolds in layered, wandering passages.

Look closer: Small figures of travelers and a tiny path wind through the valleys among the rocks.
