Visual Summary

Brief Description

Dark green lotus leaves and seed pods with thin stems on a light background, with a red seal

Detailed Description

The vertical painting is framed by a narrow gold border. The central composition features several dark green lotus leaves and two lotus seed pods against a light, off-white background. In the upper right, a single, fan-shaped lotus leaf with a slightly wavy edge extends upwards and to the right from a light green stem. Below this, a larger, more rounded dark green lotus leaf occupies the lower-center, partially overlapping a smaller, lighter green leaf to its left. To the right of the large central leaf are two dark green, spherical lotus seed pods, each with a textured, brownish-yellow base. Thin, dark brown lines, resembling reeds or grass, emerge from the bottom and lower-left, extending upwards around the base of the leaves and pods. In the upper-left corner, a red rectangular seal with dark, stylized characters is visible, accompanied by a few dark, calligraphic brushstrokes. The background is a uniform, light beige color, showing subtle texture.
