Description
The painting "River and Sky at Dusk with Snow" showcases the typical style of traditional East Asian ink painting, characterized by a tranquil and profound atmosphere. The painting lightly sketches the scenery of distant mountains and nearby waters, with layered mountain ridges and fluttering snowflakes, revealing the cold beauty of a harsh winter day. In the painting, the mountain ranges wind and undulate, covered with thick snow. The mountains and water interweave, creating a spectacular landscape scene. The trees near the shore are twisted in form, demonstrating the resilience of life in the cold winter. On the right side of the painting, a few figures are gathered by the riverbank, possibly conversing or enjoying the quiet of this snowy world, adding a touch of warmth and a breath of life. The entire painting, with its light and elegant color tones and delicate brushstrokes, displays the serene and pure beauty of winter, carrying a sense of transcendence from worldly noise. Through this work, the artist not only presents the beauty of natural landscapes but also conveys a sense of tranquility and inner peace.
