Two goats near a gnarled tree and water, with vertical text and a red seal
A horizontal ink wash painting on a light-colored ground is framed by a gold-colored border with a subtle patterned texture. The central focus is two goats rendered in shades of gray and black. The larger goat, positioned slightly to the right of center, faces left with its head lowered, appearing to interact with a smaller goat. The smaller goat, to the left, also has its head lowered, and their horns seem to be intertwined or touching. Both goats have shaggy fur and prominent curved horns. To the far left, a dark, gnarled tree trunk rises, its branches extending horizontally over the goats. Sparse leaves and some hanging elements are visible on the branches. Below the branches, on the left side of the trunk, vertical lines of text are present, with a small red square seal beneath them. In the background, to the right of the goats, a body of water extends across the width of the painting, indicated by faint horizontal lines. Along the water's edge, several dark, irregular shapes suggest rocks or small land formations, with sparse vegetation depicted as small clusters of dark marks. The foreground beneath the goats and tree is a lighter wash, suggesting ground, with a few small dark plant forms.
