Brief Description
A small green and white bird perches above a cluster of yellowish-orange fruit and green leaves
Detailed Description
The artwork is presented within a rounded rectangular or fan-shaped frame, set against a light brown background. In the upper center, a small bird with a green back, white belly, and a dark eye is depicted. Its head is tilted downwards, appearing to look towards a large cluster of fruit positioned below and to its left. The bird's legs are visible, gripping an unseen surface or in motion. Below the bird, a thick cluster of round, yellowish-orange fruits dominates the lower left and center. Each fruit has a distinct dark, star-like calyx at its base. These fruits are attached to a dark brown branch that extends from the right side of the frame, curving downwards and then horizontally. Several large, dark green leaves with visible veins emerge from the branch, some partially obscuring the fruit. The background is a uniform light brown, showing some texture or slight discoloration. In the upper right corner, a vertical strip of a darker brown material contains vertical black text. The text reads: "南京吳炳枇杷".
