Bamboo in Snow
Ink bamboo rises from the upper right and left over a pale, rocky outcrop, its slender leaves drawn in dark and grey washes. A soft grey wash fills the background, leaving the rock and open paper luminous and quiet.
Look closer: A small red seal sits below the column of inscription characters at the left edge.
