Bamboo

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a painting of bamboo. The painting on the left shows a small group of bare tree branches with some sparse needles or leaves. The painting on the right shows a group of thick stalks and several clumps of longer thin leaves. The stalks are thicker at the bottom and taper to the top. The background of the painting is a light-brown color. There are several Chinese characters written in black ink to the bottom right of the image. There is also a red seal to the bottom right. The paper is aged and has a rough texture. The painting appears to be done in a traditional Chinese style. The title of the painting is "Bamboo" and the artist's name is not specified but appears to be written in the characters on the right.
