Detailed Description
This ink wash painting on light-colored paper depicts a flowering branch extending diagonally across the composition. The branch, rendered in varying shades of dark gray and black ink, originates from the lower left and extends upwards and to the right, with several smaller offshoots. Numerous small, five-petaled flowers, also in ink, are scattered along the branches. The flowers are depicted with outlines and some internal detailing. In the upper left quadrant, vertical lines of black calligraphic text are present, accompanied by two square red seals below the text. Another smaller, square red seal is located in the lower right corner. The background is a plain, light, untextured surface.
