This painting is of a large rock, with two withered trees emerging next to it, and two sprays of bamboo. The outlines of the rock are done in the "flying white" method, the trees like that of seal script, and the branches in the Northern Sung (960-1127) Li-kuo "crab-claw" manner. The brush method of the trees and rocks is spirited and the leaves are done in that of the wave-like strokes of clerical script. All methods work together to give the painting a strong calligraphic flavor. This painting does not have a signature or seal of the artist.
