Old Plum Tree by Kubo Shunman. The image shows a painting on a beige background. The painting depicts a plum tree with a thick trunk and multiple branches. The trunk and some of the branches are green and brown. The tree's branches are bare with small buds. The painting also features Japanese calligraphy in black ink. Some of the writing is organized in vertical columns on the left and right sides. There are several lines of text in the upper center of the painting. A red seal stamp appears on the right side. The image appears to be on a white surface with a small shadow underneath, suggesting it is slightly raised.
