Visual Summary

Brief Description

A large, elongated, dark and light grey fan-like object with a bamboo handle

Detailed Description

A vertical painting on a light tan or beige background features a large, elongated object centered within the frame. This object, resembling a fan or a stylized leaf, is rendered in shades of grey and white, widest in the middle, and tapering slightly towards the top and bottom. Its left side is painted in a darker, almost black, grey, while the right side is a much lighter grey, almost white. The very top edge of the object has a slightly textured or jagged appearance. Below the main body, the object narrows into a handle, depicted as a series of vertical, light brown segments resembling bamboo, with two horizontal bands suggesting bindings. The handle extends downwards, ending before the bottom edge of the paper. To the lower left of the handle, black calligraphic text is arranged vertically, and below it, a square red seal impression.
