Detailed Description
A tall, narrow vertical painting features flowering branches against a light tan background. The painting is framed by a dark gray border with a subtle patterned design of faint, darker gray motifs. At the top, a decorative band of light beige with a white floral pattern separates the main painted area from the top edge. The central image depicts a network of gnarled, brown branches extending from the bottom right upwards and across the canvas. These branches are adorned with numerous clusters of blossoms. Some blossoms are soft white, while others are delicate pink. Small, light green leaves are interspersed among the flowers and along the branches. In the upper left quadrant, several columns of black calligraphic text are present. Below the calligraphy, a small red seal is visible. Another small red seal is located near the lower right edge of the painted area, amidst the branches. The branches are thicker at the bottom and become thinner as they ascend.
