A light brown fan painting with black calligraphy left and bamboo branches right
Detailed Description
The artwork is a fan-shaped painting on light brown paper. The surface is divided into two main visual areas. On the left, several vertical columns of black ink calligraphy are arranged, filling approximately two-thirds of the fan's width. The characters show varying stroke thicknesses and fluid brushwork. Interspersed among the calligraphy, particularly in the upper central and lower left portions, are multiple small, square red seals. On the right side, a cluster of black ink bamboo branches and leaves extends from the right edge towards the center. The bamboo stalks are slender, and the leaves are depicted with dark, sweeping brushstrokes, some overlapping. A single red square seal is visible in the lower right corner, beneath the bamboo foliage. The paper shows subtle vertical lines.
