Brief Description
Flowering branch with white blossoms and green bamboo leaves on a light brown background
Detailed Description
The image is a square-format painting on a light brown, untextured background. A flowering branch extends diagonally from the upper right towards the lower left, dominating the upper and central portions of the composition. The branch is dark brown, gnarled, and appears to be bare of leaves, but is adorned with numerous white blossoms and smaller, reddish-pink buds. The blossoms are open, featuring five delicate white petals and a small yellow or light green center. Some flowers are fully open, while others are still partially closed, revealing their reddish-pink undersides. The branch itself is thickest on the right, tapering as it extends leftward, with several smaller offshoots. Below and to the right of the main branch, a cluster of slender, dark green bamboo leaves emerges from the lower right corner, extending upwards and to the left. These leaves are long and pointed, with visible veins, and are painted with varying shades of green, suggesting depth. The elements are arranged sparsely against a plain, warm-toned backdrop.
