Brief Description
Peacock with fanned tail and spread wings stands on a dark branch in a vertical scroll
Detailed Description
This vertical scroll painting features a peacock on a light brown, textured background. The central image is framed by a wider brown border, with dark blue fabric sections at the very top and bottom. The peacock dominates the lower two-thirds of the central panel, depicted with its tail fanned upwards and its wings spread wide to the sides. The tail feathers are a deep green, adorned with numerous circular white or light-colored spots, each with a darker center, creating an 'eye' pattern. The bird's body is also green, with darker outlines and details, while the undersides of its spread wings are a lighter, almost white color. Its long, slender dark legs extend downwards, ending in clawed feet. The peacock appears to be standing on a dark, gnarled branch located in the lower left, from which a few dark green leaves emerge.
