Bamboo and Insects
Bamboo stalks and leaves in green and ink wash spread across a brown silk ground, with a small insect drawn faintly near the upper right and a shadowy one at upper left. The leaves are rendered in sharp, tapering strokes, and a red seal sits at lower left.
Look closer: A faint red seal is stamped near the lower left edge beside the bamboo.
