Detailed Description
A vertical rectangular painting depicts a peacock, flowering plants, and small birds against a muted brown background. In the lower right, a large peacock stands, facing left. Its body is rendered in shades of dull green and blue, with a lighter head and a small crest. Its long tail feathers, showing hints of gold and brown, trail behind it. Its slender legs are dark, ending in prominent claws. To the left of the peacock and extending upwards along the left side of the painting is a dense cluster of flowering plants. These plants feature broad, dark green leaves and numerous round flower clusters, some appearing golden-yellow and others a soft pinkish-orange. The foliage includes some leaves exhibiting a lighter blue-green hue. The plants emerge from a rocky or uneven ground surface, rendered in shades of brown and dark green. In the upper right, two small, light-colored birds with dark markings on their wings and heads are shown in flight, moving from left to right. The background is a uniform, textured brown.
