Brief Description
A green rock and plants in two pots on a light background
Detailed Description
The image displays a composition of a rock and plants set against a plain, light-colored background. In the lower center, two distinct pots hold different elements. The pot on the left is a shallow, white, rectangular vessel with a textured, possibly cracked or patterned, surface and small feet. Within this pot, a prominent, dark green, irregularly shaped rock formation stands, appearing mossy with several lighter, circular indentations or features on its surface. To the left of this rock, a small cluster of thin, dark green plant stalks rises. To the right, slightly overlapping the first pot, is a second, larger container. This pot is a shallow, irregularly shaped vessel, predominantly brown with lighter, yellowish-brown areas, suggesting a glazed or mottled surface. It contains a plant with several long, broad leaves that curve upwards and outwards. These leaves are a mix of dark green and brown, with some appearing more brown towards their tips. In the lower left corner, vertical dark ink characters are visible, followed by a square red seal.
