Detailed Description
A vertical ink wash painting on light paper features a large bird of prey perched on a gnarled tree branch. The bird, with dark gray and black feathers, faces left, its head turned back over its right shoulder. Its talons grip the thick, textured branch. Below the bird, the branch extends downwards, with dark green pine needles clustered on the left side. To the right of the main trunk, a slender branch with small, bright red blossoms extends into the open space. The gnarled tree trunk continues downwards, showing rough texture and knots, rooted in a rocky, earthy base. The rocks are rendered with gray and black ink washes, with some areas subtly tinted with light brown and ochre. Sparse, dark grass-like elements are visible at the very bottom. In the upper right, vertical calligraphic text is present, with two red square seals below it. Another red square seal is located in the lower left corner of the composition.
