Detailed Description
A vertical painting depicts a white crane flying under a red disc above a landscape. The background is a light tan or golden color. In the upper center, a solid red disc is positioned with a faint, lighter red reflection directly below it. Below and to the left of the disc, a large white crane is shown in flight, extending its wings horizontally. Its wingtips are black, and it has a black neck and a red patch on its head. Its beak is open, and its long legs are extended backward. The lower third of the painting features a landscape with a body of water, rendered in light grey tones, winding from left to center. Several dark rocks are visible along the water's edge. To the right of the water, two slender pine trees with dark green needles stand upright, accompanied by a cluster of leafy branches, possibly maple, extending from the right edge into the scene. A small red seal and some black calligraphic text are visible in the lower right corner. The main painted area is framed by a blue-green border adorned with gold cloud-like patterns.
