Physical Description
A person mounted on a horse can be seen crossing a bridge over a river among mountains. Mountains among clouds seem to fade away far in the distance.

At the place where mountain chains converge, I am reminded of a landscape I have visited in the past. [Painted on the occasion of] recalling an earlier visit to Mt. Hua, in winter of the Guichou year. [Signed] Junbi.
Subject Matter
Huang Junbi brushed this scene of Mount Hua in Shaanxi Province from memory. Huang was renowned for his use of subtle, trans-parent color washes to suggest clouds and water, and in this painting one can almost hear the sounds of the flowing stream and feel the cold, damp air of the clouds.
