Gazing at a Waterfall by a Pine Bluff

A vertical hanging scroll in ink on silk shows misty mountains, a gnarled pine clinging to a rocky bluff, and a waterfall tumbling down a cliff on the right. Two tiny robed figures stand at the lower left beside the water, their forms faint against the pale, washed ground of the faded silk.
