At first sight , I see a litterati in this tree because of the trunk.
How tall is the tree ? The sky behind makes it look like it's very tall. Here is a quick virtual |

Some archetypical literati can be found in the Mustard Seed Garden Manual of painting. Which is an ancient guide to brush painting. That style of painting reduces a scene (and a tree or plant) to its essence in a few brush strokes. Many of the trees depected are broadleaf deciduous, but of course pines are represented as well. Prunus mume (Japanese Flowering Apricot) was probably the most popular.
You can see some in the Chinese painting schools http://www.lingnanart.com/lingnan-master.htm You'd think many of the original Mustard Seed drawings would be in the public domain after centuries, but I can't seem to find them online! I guess you need to search in Chinese! Regards, Matt
