Brief Description
Ink painting of bamboo stalks and branches with pink blossoms and calligraphic text
Detailed Description
An ink painting on a light beige background depicts bamboo stalks and flowering branches. Several bamboo stalks, rendered in a light blue-green wash with darker nodes, rise from the lower left, curving upwards and to the right across the central area of the composition. Numerous elongated, pointed blue-green leaves cluster along the bamboo stalks, some overlapping. Intertwined with and extending above the bamboo are delicate brown branches bearing clusters of small, light pink blossoms and some buds. These flowering branches originate from the upper left and upper right, weaving through the bamboo foliage. In the upper left quadrant, vertical lines of black calligraphic text are present. A square red seal is positioned directly below the calligraphy. Another square red seal is visible in the lower right corner of the painting.
