Detailed Description
An ink wash painting shows bamboo and rocks on a light, uncolored background. Several clusters of bamboo stalks dominate the composition, primarily in the center and extending towards the right side of the image. The bamboo stalks are rendered with varying shades of dark grey and black ink, with numerous thin, pointed leaves fanning out from the stalks. Some stalks are taller and more prominent, while others are shorter and appear in the background. In the foreground, a series of rounded and irregularly shaped rocks are scattered across the lower portion of the painting. These rocks are also depicted with dark grey and black ink, showing texture and form through varied brushstrokes and washes. A large, prominent rock formation is situated slightly to the right of the center, with smaller rocks to its left and right. Sparse tufts of grass or vegetation are visible around the base of the rocks and bamboo. The ground is subtly shaded with light grey washes, suggesting gentle undulations. A red square seal with illegible characters is located in the bottom right corner of the painting.
