A potted rock garden, a pine branch, and red flowers with large leaves on a light ground
Detailed Description
On a light, plain background, natural elements are arranged from left to right. On the far left, a light blue-green pot with a patterned rim holds a miniature landscape. Within the pot, a tall, jagged, light gray rock formation rises, surrounded by smaller, light green plant-like forms with yellow-orange tips. The ground within the pot is speckled with dark dots. To the right of the potted arrangement, a branch of a pine tree extends horizontally, featuring numerous thin, dark green needles and a small, dark, pendulous object hanging from one of its smaller branches. Below the pine branch, two square red seals are stamped on the paper. Further to the right, a cluster of two prominent red flowers with dark centers and light green leaves is depicted. Beneath these flowers are several large, rounded, dark gray shapes, possibly representing rocks or large leaves, with subtle lighter gray washes suggesting form and texture.
