Brief Description
A woman in a white robe stands among bamboo and rocks in a muted landscape with distant hills
Detailed Description
The composition is vertically oriented, predominantly in muted tones of brown, green, and white. The upper portion is a light, hazy brown, with faint, lighter brown outlines of distant hills or mountains. In the upper right corner, a vertical column of dark text is visible, accompanied by several small, square red seals. Another single red seal is present in the upper left. The mid-ground is dominated by a dense cluster of tall, slender bamboo stalks with delicate green leaves, positioned on the right side and extending upwards. To the left of this bamboo, the ground is a lighter brown with subtle hints of darker green foliage. Further into the background, more faint, vertical forms suggest additional bamboo or trees, creating a sense of depth. In the foreground, slightly right of the center, a woman stands facing slightly left. She wears a long, flowing white robe that reaches the ground, with subtle folds indicating fabric movement. Her hair is styled in a dark, elaborate bun, and her skin appears light. She holds a white, circular fan in her right hand, which rests near her waist. She stands on a patch of light green ground, surrounded by several rounded, brown rocks of varying sizes. A winding path or stream bed, delineated by a darker brown line, extends from the lower left corner towards the center of the foreground. Several more square red seals are visible in the lower left and lower right areas of the composition.
