Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting features a small bird and floral elements on a light cream background, framed by dark purple borders with a subtle gold pattern. In the upper half, a small, dark-colored bird with a long tail is perched on a thin, light brown branch. The bird faces left, its head slightly lowered towards the branch, which has several small, reddish buds. Below the bird and branch, in the mid-section of the painting, is a large, multi-petaled peony flower in shades of light pink. Surrounding the peony are several large, blue-green leaves, some with visible veins, extending downwards and to the left. In the upper left quadrant, vertical black text reads "甲寅和秋寫". Below this text are two stacked red square seals, the upper one reading "竹坡". A single red square seal is also visible in the lower right quadrant.
