Monochrome ink landscape. Three mountain ridges are depicted in the foreground, middle ground, and distance. The rest of the painting is abstract ground suggesting thick clouds or mist. The paint is applied with strong contrasts between dark lines, grey washes and negative ground. The mountains are described in swirling, curving strokes. The paper is coarse and slightly creamy in color.
