Tall Bamboo and Distant Mountains, after Wang Meng

A hanging scroll in ink on paper shows clusters of tall bamboo rising beside a small pavilion at the left, with rocky banks and sparse brushwork below. Distant mountains fade into mist across the upper half, and vertical columns of calligraphy run down the upper left.

Look closer: Two red seals appear in the lower corners and beside the calligraphy at the upper left.
