A vertical hanging scroll depicts a pale puppy rendered with delicate, fine-lined outlines. Standing with one front paw raised, the puppy turns its head back toward dark, jagged ink dandelions sprouting in the lower foreground. Sparse, misty washes define the ground plane. The upper half of the composition remains empty, featuring only a faint circular seal in the top left corner, emphasizing the minimalist space surrounding the small, solitary animal.
