Brief Description
Ink drawing of a gnarled pine tree and other plants in a decorative pot
Detailed Description
An ink drawing on light beige paper depicts a potted plant, centrally positioned. The pot is a wide, shallow, dark-rimmed vessel with a slightly flared lip and a base. Its surface is rendered with fine lines suggesting cracks or a textured pattern, and a decorative band with geometric motifs runs along its upper edge. Inside the pot, a miniature landscape is arranged. A gnarled pine tree with distinct needles and small cones dominates the left side, its branches extending upwards and to the right. To its right, several slender, grass-like plants and small, delicate flowers emerge from the soil, which is textured with small dots. The plants are rooted in a mound of what appears to be rocks or sculpted earth, rendered with vertical and horizontal strokes. The drawing is set against a plain, light background. In the lower left, there are two red seals and some black calligraphic text. Another red seal is located in the lower right corner.
