Brief Description
A fan-shaped painting with flowering plants, foliage, black calligraphy, and red seals.
Detailed Description
The artwork is a fan-shaped painting on a light, off-white background. The composition features a variety of flowering plants and foliage, rendered in watercolor-like washes. In the upper left, a cluster of tall, slender plants with light yellow-orange, feathery blossoms or seed heads rises, accompanied by several broad, pale green leaves. To the right of these, a series of larger, darker green leaves with visible vein patterns extends horizontally across the middle of the fan. Further to the right, in the lower right quadrant, a dense grouping of plants with delicate light pink flowers is depicted. These flowers have five petals and darker pink centers, and are surrounded by numerous small, dark green leaves and thin, light green stems. Scattered throughout the composition are thin, arching blades of light green grass. Black calligraphy is present in the upper left, arranged in vertical lines. Six red square seals are placed throughout the composition: two appear in the upper center, one directly below the calligraphy, one in the lower left, one in the lower right, and one just above the pink flowers.
