Brief Description
Ink painting of a flowering tree branch with extensive calligraphic text on a light background
Detailed Description
The image is a vertical ink painting on a light-colored paper, depicting a flowering tree branch that extends from the lower right to the upper left. The branches are rendered in varying shades of black ink, from dark, thick strokes for the main trunk and larger branches to lighter, thinner lines for the smaller twigs. Numerous small, delicate flowers are scattered along the branches, depicted with light, almost white ink or unpainted paper. The blossoms are clustered in groups. In the upper right quadrant, a large block of vertical calligraphic text is present, written in black ink. Below this, a smaller block of vertical calligraphic text appears, also in black ink. Several red seals, square and circular, are visible within and below the text blocks, as well as in the lower left corner of the painting. The background is a uniform, light beige color.
