Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting features a light, off-white background with two main subjects in the lower half and calligraphic text in the upper right. On the left, a tall, dark, irregularly shaped rock formation stands upright. It is rendered in shades of black and dark gray, with numerous circular and elongated perforations creating a porous, textured appearance. To the right of the rock, a plant with broad, wavy leaves is depicted in a small, low pot. The plant is rendered in lighter shades of gray and white, with distinct leaf veins. The pot is a simple, rectangular shape with a thin red line along its upper rim. The rock is significantly taller than the potted plant. The upper two-thirds of the scroll are largely empty. In the upper right quadrant, several vertical lines of black calligraphic text are present, followed by a small, square red seal at the bottom of the text block. The entire painted area is framed by a light brown border.
