Detailed Description
A horizontal composition features black ink depictions of bamboo branches and leaves, alongside vertical calligraphic text and red seals. In the upper left, a thick, dark bamboo branch extends horizontally towards the center, with thinner, lighter branches sprouting downwards. In the upper right, another set of bamboo branches, varying in thickness and darkness, extends downwards and towards the center. Clusters of elongated, pointed bamboo leaves, depicted in varying shades of black from light gray to dark black, hang from these branches, primarily in the upper half of the composition. On the right side, several columns of vertical black calligraphic text are present. Below this text, a small, square red seal is visible. Further left, in the lower-center, additional columns of vertical black calligraphic text appear. Below and to the left of this text, a cluster of three square red seals is stacked vertically.
