English original
Misty limestone karst peaks rising above a calm river with a single empty wooden sampan moored among reeds, painted as a traditional Chinese ink wash landscape on rice paper. Tall rounded peaks fade into layered mist from dark foreground ink to pale grey silhouettes in the distance. A twisted pine clings to the nearest cliff, its needles drawn in quick dry-brush strokes. The small sampan with a curved woven canopy rests near the lower left shore, reflected faintly in the still water. Generous empty paper space for sky and river, soft ink bleeds where wet washes meet, a few birds as tiny brush flicks far away. Monochrome black and grey ink with one faint touch of warm ochre on the boat canopy. Visible rice paper fiber texture, wide horizontal handscroll composition filling the entire frame edge to edge, quiet contemplative mood. No people, no text, no calligraphy, no seals, no signature.
