Brief Description
Ink painting of bamboo stalks with dark leaves and black calligraphic text on a light ground
Detailed Description
A vertical ink painting depicts several bamboo stalks with dark leaves on a light, unadorned background. Three prominent stalks rise from the bottom, extending upwards, with varying heights. The stalks are rendered in dark ink, showing distinct nodes along their length. Clusters of dark, pointed leaves emerge from the stalks, primarily in the central and upper sections of the composition. Some lighter, more translucent leaf shapes are visible behind the darker ones. At the very bottom left, a few smaller, thinner shoots with sparse leaves are visible, and similar delicate shoots appear near the top center. In the upper right quadrant, several vertical lines of black calligraphic text are present, accompanied by two square red seals positioned below the main body of text.
