Detailed Description
A vertical artwork features a central image framed by a dark blue border with a repeating geometric pattern, and a lighter blue patterned strip with floral motifs at the top and bottom. The central image, set against a light, off-white background, depicts bamboo, a peony flower, and a large rock. In the upper right, a slender bamboo stalk extends upwards, displaying several clusters of dark, pointed leaves. Three distinct groups of leaves are visible, with the topmost cluster reaching near the top edge. Below the bamboo, on the left side, a large peony flower with numerous petals is rendered in lighter tones, with darker outlines defining some petals and leaves. Several leaves and smaller buds surround the main flower. To the right of the peony, a substantial, vertical rock formation occupies the lower right quadrant. It is depicted with varied tones, creating a textured, rugged appearance, with darker lines emphasizing its contours and crevices. The rock appears to rise from the bottom edge of the central image. The background is a pale, light color.
