Small birds fly among tall grasses, cattails, white flowers, and a fence on a gold background
Detailed Description
This wide, horizontal painting is divided into six vertical panels, all set against a shimmering gold background. The composition features numerous small birds, various plants, and sections of a light-colored fence. On the left side, tall green grasses and brown, elongated cattails rise from the bottom edge, extending upwards into the mid-ground. Scattered among these plants are clusters of small white flowers with green leaves. Several small, brown and white birds are depicted in flight in the upper left portion of the panels, with a few more flying or perched closer to the ground. A subtle, light gold grid pattern is visible in the lower-left panel. Moving towards the center, a dense flock of small birds occupies the upper-central area, appearing to fly in various directions. Below them, a section of a light-colored, grid-patterned fence runs horizontally. More clusters of small white flowers are visible near the bottom edge of the central panels. On the right side, another dense arrangement of green grasses and brown cattails fills the lower portion of the panels. A light-colored, grid-like fence extends horizontally across the lower mid-ground, from the center-right to the far right edge. Behind this fence, on the far right, several tall, slender green bamboo stalks rise vertically. In the upper right corner, three small, rectangular, light pink objects hang from a horizontal line. Additional small birds are depicted flying in the upper right and lower center-right areas of the composition. The gold background has a slightly textured appearance throughout.
