Detailed Description
A rooster stands amidst various plants on a light brown, fan-shaped surface. The rooster, positioned slightly left of center, faces left with its head turned slightly to the right. Its body is composed of dark, layered brushstrokes that form its feathers, with a lighter, more detailed tail and wings. A distinct comb and wattle are visible on its head. To the rooster's immediate right, a cluster of tall, slender plants with numerous narrow leaves rises vertically. Further to the right, several bamboo stalks with sparse, delicate leaves extend upwards towards the top edge of the fan. Above the rooster and to its left, a branch with several clusters of broad, dark leaves hangs down from the upper left curve of the fan. The ground beneath the rooster is indicated by subtle, light brushstrokes. In the upper left corner, a vertical column of dark, untranscribed calligraphic text is present, accompanied by a small, square red seal below it. The composition is executed in shades of black ink, creating a monochromatic scene with fluid brushwork.
