Brief Description
A winding grape vine with clusters of grapes and leaves, depicted in ink on light paper
Detailed Description
A vertical composition on light brown paper features a grape vine with leaves and clusters of grapes, framed by a patterned border. In the upper left quadrant, dark ink calligraphy is present, accompanied by two red seals below the text. A thick, gnarled vine branch originates from the upper left, extending downwards and curving towards the right. Smaller branches and delicate tendrils emerge from the main vine. Several clusters of grapes hang from the vine, rendered with varying shades of ink to create a sense of volume. Large, lobed leaves are interspersed among the grape clusters and along the length of the vine. The vine continues to twist downwards through the center of the composition, gradually becoming thinner. More clusters of grapes and leaves are visible towards the bottom of the painting, with fine tendrils extending outwards. The artwork is bordered on the left and right by a darker brown material with a subtle, textured pattern.
