A hanging scroll in black ink depicts a gnarled tree curving from the left toward a large rock. Fine, hanging lines and dark dots accent the tree's thin branches. Pointed bamboo leaves sprout at the tree's base and around the rock. Vertical columns of Chinese calligraphy and red seals fill the upper portion. Streaking strokes and light washes define the foreground against the beige background.
