Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting features a light brown, slightly textured background, framed by a patterned gold border on all four edges. The central composition displays a cluster of hydrangea plants with blue and white blossoms and dark green leaves, arranged diagonally from the lower left to the upper right. The largest cluster of hydrangeas is positioned in the center, showing a mix of vibrant blue and soft white flowers, each composed of multiple small petals. Below this, in the lower right, is a smaller cluster of predominantly blue hydrangeas. Above the central cluster, towards the upper left, another group of white and light blue hydrangeas emerges. The leaves are broad and varied in shape, rendered in shades of dark green, olive, and some with hints of blue-green, showing subtle vein details. Dark, slender stems intertwine among the foliage. A small, light-colored insect with delicate wings is visible near the upper right edge of the central hydrangea cluster. In the lower left corner, a vertical inscription in dark ink is present, followed by a circular red seal. The background remains largely unadorned, providing a soft contrast to the detailed floral arrangement.
