An ink on silk vertical hanging scroll features a cluster of narcissus beside a weathered rock. Tapered, blade-like leaves splay upward and outward from the center, punctuated by small, pale-petaled flowers. To our right, a tall, pitted rock rises from the ground. Fine, dark lines define the foliage against a muted background. Calligraphy marks the upper left, while a floral-patterned border frames the composition.
