Three strokes account for the whole of this composition - a tall vertical with a small terminal loop at its apex, a diagonal that cuts downward and right before curling into a wide lower stroke, and a second curving column that rises independently on the right and bends at its crown into a short hooked return. The dark green holds its full weight across every inch of line, neither thickening nor thinning as the hand moved, which gives the work an unusual evenness of pressure throughout. What holds attention is the angle at which the central diagonal drops: it cuts across the implied uprightness of the flanking verticals and introduces a lean, a tipping quality, that the surrounding white space refuses to correct.
