Ink painting on a fan with dense bamboo, vertical calligraphy, and three red seals
Detailed Description
A fan-shaped painting, rendered in ink on a light, speckled surface. A dense cluster of bamboo occupies the left and central portions of the fan. The bamboo is depicted with varying shades of dark ink, creating a sense of depth and movement. Numerous slender stalks rise from the bottom, obscured by a profusion of long, pointed leaves that fan out in various directions. Some leaves are rendered in solid, dark ink, while others appear lighter, suggesting a layered effect or shadows. The bamboo extends upwards and across the fan, with some branches reaching towards the right side. The background behind the bamboo is a light, off-white or beige color, uniformly speckled with small, darker dots, giving it a textured appearance. On the right side of the fan, several columns of vertical dark ink calligraphy are present. The characters are written in a fluid, brushstroke style. Below the calligraphy, a rectangular red seal is visible. A smaller, circular red seal is placed slightly above and to its left of the rectangular seal. A square-shaped red seal is located in the lower-left corner of the fan, beneath the bamboo leaves.
