Self title: “In the early winter of Renshen, Beihong was written in Xindu.” With the seal of “King Sun of the East China Sea” in white, the rectangular seal was printed
The year of Renshen was 1932, and Xu Beihong was 37 years old
The picture depicts two pine and cypress trees with different thicknesses and heights, one at the center of the painting, one at an oblique angle. A crane stands on a cypress branch, spreading its wings to fly. Under the tree, a crane stops and looks up. The two cranes form a dynamic and static contrast, echoing high and low, and are extremely interesting< Xu Beihong once wrote in a painting: "Trees are not difficult to write, but if they are not well written, they are like hard wood, so they must have business. The key point is to accurately determine the depth of the branches and ensure that the bark is moist. If the branches are distributed four times, they will not cause wood, even if the fallen leaves do not hinder them." This picture well deals with the relationship between the trunk, branches, and leaves, depicting the vigorous vitality of the ancient cypress and pine trees. In the picture, the needles of pine and cypress are first colored with cyan, and then the main idea is written in vertical ink dots.
