Brief Description
Intertwining branches with pink and white blossoms and green leaves on a light ground
Detailed Description
A vertical scroll on a light cream-colored ground depicts a dense arrangement of flowering branches. Gnarled, dark brown branches extend from the lower right, moving upwards and across the central portion of the composition, forming an interwoven pattern. Clusters of blossoms in varying shades of pink and white are distributed along the branches. Pink blossoms are more concentrated on the right side and lower left, appearing in fuller, denser groups. White blossoms are prominent in the central and upper-left areas, often appearing in smaller clusters. Small, elongated green leaves are interspersed among the flowers and along the branches. In the upper section of the scroll, a column of vertical black text is present on the left side, while a smaller section of black text with a red square seal is visible in the upper right corner.
