From the Harvard Art Museums record
A horizontally oriented landscape, brush painted with black ink on white paper, covers the length of a long handscroll. Pictured at intervals are three groups of distant mountains and three small hills in the foreground, with stretches of water or empty space between them. A few buildings, groves of trees, and other vegetation appear throughout. There are two inscriptions in Chinese characters at the end of the painting, on the far-left side, and an additional inscription has been added to the end of the scroll on a separate piece of paper. Several red seals have been stamped at the beginning and end of the scroll.
