Detailed Description
A black and white image depicts a cluster of plants against a light background. In the lower left, a dark, vertical stalk supports several smaller, lighter stalks that branch outwards. Attached to these are numerous small, rounded leaves, often grouped in threes, rendered in various shades of gray. Interspersed among the leaves are tiny, light-colored blossoms or seed pods. In the lower center, two prominent, tall, thin stalks rise, curving gently upwards and to the right. The leftmost of these stalks culminates in a long, feathery plume composed of many fine, parallel lines. A similar, slightly smaller plume is visible further to the right, positioned a bit lower. The background is a uniform light gray, with subtle tonal variations. In the lower left corner, dark, stylized characters are visible, appearing as '景文'.
