Detailed Description
A vertical painting on a light, off-white background depicts a dense cluster of lotus plants. In the upper left, black text is arranged in vertical columns, accompanied by two small red seal impressions. The main subject, occupying the lower two-thirds of the composition, features numerous lotus flowers, buds, and leaves. The flowers are predominantly pale pink and white, some fully open with visible yellow centers, while others are smaller buds. The lotus leaves vary significantly in size and color; some are large, round, and dark green with a bluish tint, while others are lighter green, some with hints of brown or orange. Several dark, ribbed lotus seed pods are visible among the leaves. Thin, dark stems support the various elements, rising from the bottom of the frame. Towards the bottom right, a few slender, grass-like stalks are painted in light green and grey.
