Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting features a gnarled tree with light green leaves and pink flowers on a pale yellow ground. A prominent, gnarled tree trunk, rendered in shades of dark brown and grey, rises from the lower left, curving slightly to the right before ascending towards the top center. Its branches extend outwards, primarily to the left and right, with numerous slender, light green leaves hanging delicately. Near the top left, two small, light brown and grey birds are perched on a branch, nestled among the leaves. Several large, light pink flowers bloom on branches extending from the lower and middle sections of the main trunk, mostly on the left side. These flowers have multiple layers of petals and are accompanied by dark green leaves. In the upper right quadrant, vertical black calligraphic text is present, followed by two square red seals stacked vertically. The central painted area is framed by a light grey border on both the left and right sides, featuring a subtle, repeating pattern of stylized floral or cloud motifs.
