A tall woven basket filled with leafy plants, gourds, and vines, rendered in ink wash
Detailed Description
The vertical ink wash painting is on light, off-white paper and features a light brown border. The central composition shows a tall, narrow, woven basket at the bottom, rendered in black ink with detailed cross-hatching and vertical lines, creating a textured appearance. The basket has a flared base and two small handles at its upper rim, from which a thin, arched handle extends upwards, curving over the central plant arrangement. Inside the basket, a dense cluster of dark grey and black leaves and thin stems is visible. Above the basket, a vine with several large, rounded leaves, depicted in varying shades of grey ink, extends upwards. Some leaves are darker, almost black, while others are lighter grey, showing the brushstrokes. Small, rounded gourds, also in grey, are interspersed among the leaves and along the thin black vine, which curves and intertwines. In the upper right portion of the paper, vertical black calligraphy is present, followed by a small, square red seal. The arrangement of plants and a basket is rendered with varied ink strokes.
