Brief Description
A bald man in a robe kneels, holding a flower, with calligraphy above and plants to his side
Detailed Description
A vertical scroll features a large section of black calligraphy at the top, occupying approximately two-thirds of the composition. The calligraphy consists of multiple columns of vertical characters, written in black ink on a light, uncolored background. Several red seals are interspersed within and below the calligraphic text. The bottom third of the scroll depicts a single figure, a man, kneeling. He is bald with a visible mustache and a short beard. He wears a loose, long-sleeved robe, rendered with broad, flowing brushstrokes. His head is bowed, and he looks intently at a small, light-colored flower or plant held delicately in his cupped hands. To the left of the kneeling figure, a cluster of plants emerges from the ground. These include tall, slender stalks resembling bamboo and a bush with several small, round flowers. The ground is indicated by faint, horizontal ink lines. Two red seals are visible at the bottom left corner of the image.
