Brief Description
Two vertical panels, one with black calligraphy, the other an ink painting of a tree and rocks
Detailed Description
The artwork consists of two vertical rectangular panels, presented side-by-side against a plain, light gray background. Both panels are a uniform light beige or off-white color. The left panel is filled with black calligraphic text, arranged in vertical columns. The text begins from the top right of the panel and progresses downwards and then to the left. The brushstrokes are fluid and varied in thickness. Below some of the text, towards the lower left, are two red square seals. One seal is larger and positioned slightly behind and to the left of a smaller, more prominent seal. The characters within the seals are not clearly discernible. The right panel features an ink painting of a tall, slender tree standing amidst dark rock formations. The tree, positioned slightly to the left of the panel's vertical center, has a light brown trunk with darker vertical lines. Its numerous branches extend upwards and outwards, mostly bare, with sparse clusters of dark green or blue-green foliage, particularly on the right side. Below and to the right of the tree, a cluster of dark gray and black rocks is depicted with angular shapes and varying tonal washes, which create a rugged texture. The ground around the base of the tree and rocks is rendered with lighter gray and green washes, accented by darker brushstrokes. In the lower left corner of this panel, a small vertical line of black text is visible, accompanied by a small red square seal directly below it. A small, dark rectangular seal or mark is also present in the lower right corner of the painting. The background of the painting is a plain, light beige, matching the panel's color, without any distinct horizon or sky.
