Brief Description
Two ink-wash birds, one large and small, perch on a dark, gnarled rock with sparse branches
Detailed Description
A vertical ink wash on light-colored paper depicts two birds perched on a dark, gnarled rock formation. The scene is rendered in various shades of black and grey ink, creating a monochromatic effect. The larger bird is in the upper center, facing right with its head turned slightly upwards. Its feathers are detailed with dark, layered strokes, and it has a prominent beak. It stands on a rugged, dark grey rock that extends from the left. Below and to the right of the larger bird, a smaller bird perches on a lower, rounded rock. This bird also faces right, looking slightly downwards. Its plumage is similarly detailed with dark ink, showing distinct feather patterns. The rock formation supporting the birds is textured with broad, dark brushstrokes, appearing to have a rough surface. Sparse, dark branches with small, round elements extend from the upper left and upper right corners, framing the scene. The background is a plain, light wash, contrasting with the dark birds and rocks. In the upper left, vertical lines of black text are visible, followed by a square red seal. A smaller, square red seal is in the lower left.
