Detailed Description
A large, gnarled tree, densely covered in white blossoms, is set against a dark, muted gray-brown background. Thick, dark branches emerge from the lower left and right, extending upwards and across the entire composition, intertwining to fill the space. The branches have a textured appearance with subtle variations in tone. Thousands of small, white blossoms, each with a tiny yellow center, cluster along the branches, creating a visual contrast with the dark wood and background. The blossoms are so numerous they form a continuous, cloud-like mass. In the upper right quadrant, a faint, lighter circular shape is visible through the branches and blossoms. On the right side, approximately midway down, several vertical lines of dark text appear, beneath which a square red seal is placed.
