Detailed Description
A fan-shaped painting features a gray squirrel amidst grapevines. The background is a light, off-white color, with faint vertical lines suggesting the folds of a fan. A gray squirrel, depicted with soft, textured fur and a bushy tail, is positioned slightly right of the center, facing towards the right. It is perched on a brown branch, holding a small, round, purple object near its mouth. Above and to the left of the squirrel, a large cluster of dark purple grapes hangs from a branch, accompanied by several green leaves. More green leaves and smaller clusters of purple grapes are visible below and to the right of the squirrel. The leaves are rendered in various shades of light and medium green, some showing subtle vein details. On the far left side of the fan, a column of black calligraphic text is present, running vertically. Below this text, a small, square red seal is visible. Another small, square red seal is located in the lower right corner of the fan.
