A hanging scroll depicts a large banana plant with wide, drooping gray leaves arching right. Two thick stalks rise vertically, surrounded by chrysanthemums with pale brown petals and light blue leaves. Bold ink strokes define the textured foliage against the neutral background. On the middle right, Japanese calligraphy and two red seals are stacked vertically, while a final small seal marks the bottom left corner.
