Monochromatic ink painting of a grape vine, two leaves, and a grape cluster on a light ground.
Detailed Description
A monochromatic ink painting depicts a grape vine on a light, unadorned ground. The central composition features a horizontal vine branch extending from the left side, slightly curving upwards, then downwards. On the left, a large, five-lobed grape leaf is rendered in a lighter shade of gray, showing subtle vein details. Further along the vine to the right, a smaller, darker gray leaf with distinct lobes is visible. Below this smaller leaf, a cluster of light gray grapes hangs, with individual berries clearly defined. The vine itself is a medium gray, with a few lighter tendrils extending from the vine. In the lower right corner, a vertical inscription in dark ink is present, followed by a red square seal. The main painting is framed by a thin, light brown border, which is then surrounded by a wider, dark blue border patterned with light blue cloud-like motifs.
