Detailed Description
The image displays a semi-circular folding fan, open to reveal a painted surface above a series of light brown wooden ribs. The ribs radiate from a central pivot point at the bottom center, forming the handle. The fan's surface, likely paper or silk, is a light, off-white color, showing some subtle discoloration. The painting depicts a landscape primarily featuring bamboo and rocks. Numerous bamboo stalks, rendered in varying shades of dark ink, rise vertically across the central and right portions of the fan. Their slender forms are adorned with many small, dark green to black leaves. At the base of the bamboo, several irregularly shaped rocks are visible, painted with dark ink outlines and washes of light blue-green. The background behind the bamboo and rocks is a lighter, misty wash. On the far left side of the fan, vertical lines of black calligraphic characters are present, accompanied by a small, square red seal located below the text.
