Introduction：This painting captures a waterfall and red maple leaves in autumnal mountains. The foreground features a cluster of trees with its right side connecting to a cascading waterfall amidst the layered cliffs in the middle ground, while a misty and winding deep valley separates it from the left mountaintop, creating a composition that is both deeply mysterious and spatially expansive, with an asymmetry of blank spaces on the left and painted areas on the right. The waterfall flowing between two hills on the right suggests a space that extends deeply into the background and the dramatic drop of the water.
The viewpoint focuses on the cascading waterfall on the right, juxtaposed against the hazy valley on the left, providing a contrast between blank and painted spaces. The artist uses a dry-brush technique to texture the rugged rocks and alternates between hues of indigo, light ochre, ink, and vermilion, setting a rhythmic variation of color that reflects the multiple layers of spatial dimension and the poetic transition between real scenes and negative spaces.
