Detailed Description
A vertical, monochrome artwork features calligraphic text in the upper section, followed by two potted plants on a table, and a teapot on a stand in the lower section. The background is a light tone, and all elements are rendered with thin black lines. The upper third of the scroll contains several vertical lines of text, with larger characters on the right and smaller, more numerous characters to their left. Below the text, two potted plants are depicted on a simple, rectangular table with four thin legs. The plant on the left is in a wider, fluted pot and has a dense, bushy top. The plant on the right is in a narrower, simpler pot and features a more sparse, upright stem with a few leaves or flowers at its apex. In the bottom third of the scroll, a teapot with a spout, handle, and lid is shown resting on a tall, cylindrical stand. The stand has a small, circular protrusion on its side.
