Five Pine Trees

Ink on paper hanging scroll showing a dense cluster of gnarled pine trunks rising through the composition, with bundled needles spreading at the top and sides. Columns of brush-written inscriptions and red seals run along the right and lower left, framing the twisting trunks in grey washes.

Look closer: A red seal impression sits near the lower left edge beside the inscription.
