Detailed Description
The artwork is a painting on a light, unpainted background, featuring two prominent trees, a structure, and a column of text. Two large, gnarled trees stand in the foreground, occupying the left and central portions of the image. The tree on the right is larger and more central, its trunk a textured brown and gray, with visible knots and crevices. Its branches are covered in dense, finely detailed foliage rendered in dark gray and light blue-gray stippling, creating a textured appearance. The tree on the left is slightly smaller and partially obscured by the right tree, showing similar gnarled bark and dense foliage. The ground beneath the trees is rendered with subtle shading in light brown and gray washes. To the right and behind the trees, a structure with a sloped roof is depicted with parallel diagonal lines in light brown and gray. On the far left, a vertical column of dark script runs from top to bottom, reading: "嘉慶九年乙丑封之劉走家店在堪一畝城父送植報言二侯德產又十年枝葉牢狀佳石院樹蔭免村財錢城樹樹俱是因國是老桂持甚日是神明如向張". Below the text, a small, square red seal is visible. The palette is predominantly muted, consisting of various shades of brown, gray, and a subtle blue-green for the foliage, against a light, unpainted background.
