Brief Description
Vertical ink painting of a flowering plant, three open blossoms and buds, on light gray
Detailed Description
The image is a vertical, monochromatic ink painting on a light gray ground. A flowering plant dominates the central space, extending diagonally from the lower right towards the upper left. The plant features a dark, thick stem that branches. Three prominent, open flowers are depicted along the stem, with two smaller buds near the top. The flowers have light, almost white, centers with darker, wavy outlines defining their petals. The petals appear layered and full. The leaves are broad and dark, with some showing subtle variations in tone. Below the lowest open flower, the stem continues downwards and branches, with more dark leaves. To the right of the main stem, in the mid-ground, several faint, thin plant stalks rise vertically. In the bottom left corner, a circular seal is visible, containing dark, stylized characters. The background is a uniform, light gray, providing a stark contrast to the darker plant elements.
