A gnarled tree with pine branches, grapevines, bamboo, a bird, and a small animal
Detailed Description
A vertical ink wash painting depicts a gnarled tree trunk occupying the central space. The tree, rendered in varying shades of black ink, extends from the bottom edge to the top. Its textured bark shows deep crevices. In the upper half, branches with clusters of pine needles extend outwards. Intertwined with the tree are vines bearing numerous bunches of grapes, depicted as dark, round forms. A small, dark bird with a pointed beak is visible on the upper part of the tree trunk, facing right. Below, on the left side of the trunk and in the foreground, tall, slender bamboo stalks with pointed leaves rise vertically. At the very bottom, a small, furry animal, possibly a badger or similar rodent, is crouched near the base of the tree, partially obscured by the bamboo and sparse grass. Its head is lowered, appearing to sniff or dig at the ground. The background is a light, neutral tone, providing contrast to the dark ink work.
