An ink wash painting depicts tall bamboo stalks and leaves beside a large, textured rock
Detailed Description
A vertical ink wash painting depicts a composition of bamboo and a large rock, rendered in black ink on a light, off-white background. In the upper and middle sections, multiple clusters of bamboo stalks rise vertically. The slender stalks are defined by dark, crisp lines, while the abundant leaves are created with overlapping brushstrokes, creating a feathery appearance and a sense of lightness. Some of the bamboo foliage extends towards the top and right edges of the painting. At the bottom right, a prominent, irregularly shaped rock is depicted. It is rendered with a range of gray washes and darker black accents, creating a textured appearance. Short, dark brushstrokes suggest sparse ground cover around the base of the rock and the bamboo stalks. In the upper right quadrant, vertical calligraphic text in black ink is visible, accompanied by a small, square red seal directly below it.
