Detailed Description
This artwork is a horizontal, multi-panel screen painting composed of ten vertical panels, each framed by a thin, light brown border. The background of all panels is a uniform light golden-yellow, with a patterned, light brown and gold border at the bottom of each panel. The painting depicts a continuous natural landscape populated by various birds, plants, and insects. From left to right: The first panel features a flowering branch with pink and red blossoms extending from the upper left, with a large, long-tailed bird perched on a grey rock at the bottom left. The second panel shows tall green grasses and several brown and speckled ground birds near the bottom, with a smaller bird in flight above. The third panel depicts a body of water with two ducks swimming, and another bird flying in the upper section. The fourth panel continues the water scene with two colorful mandarin ducks, one with orange and green plumage, resting on a bank. A gnarled, dark tree trunk rises vertically. The fifth panel displays a large, dark green lotus leaf and a pink lotus flower, with a red dragonfly hovering above. A small green bird is perched on a branch. The sixth panel features a bright green parrot-like bird with a long tail perched on a flowering branch in the upper right, with a smaller green bird below it. Pink flowers bloom at the bottom. The seventh panel presents a dense arrangement of flowering branches with white and yellow blossoms, among which several small birds are perched and flying. The eighth panel shows a tall plant with red flowers and green leaves, with a bird perched on a branch to the right. The ninth panel includes a large, grey rock formation on the right, with flowering branches and several small birds in flight. The tenth panel, on the far right, depicts a brown hen-like bird standing on the ground at the bottom right, with flowering branches extending from the top.
