Detailed Description
The image shows an ink painting on a light brown surface. A thick, dark, gnarled branch extends from the lower left corner, curving upwards and to the right across the middle. Thinner twigs branch off from the main limb, adorned with numerous small, light-colored, circular blossoms or buds. In the upper-middle right, a large, faint, light-colored circular shape, possibly a moon, is visible behind the branches. On the far left, a large, dark, abstract ink blotch is partially visible, cropped by the edge of the image. To its right, a vertical column of dark calligraphy reads "月下親体". Further to the right and below the main branch, another vertical section of smaller dark text is present, accompanied by a small, rectangular red seal. On the far right edge, a narrow vertical strip of the image shows a column of very small, dark characters.
