Sunset at Seta

A long wooden bridge runs diagonally across a calm lake toward distant hills, with sailboats drifting on the water. A pale gold sky fades to blue above a conical mountain at upper right, while a cartouche with calligraphy sits in the upper left corner.

Look closer: A red artist's seal and signature sit in the lower right corner.
