Visual Summary

Brief Description

A black and white bird perches on a flowering branch, its head tilted downwards

Detailed Description

A vertical ink wash painting on light-colored paper depicts a bird perched on a flowering branch. In the upper left, a bird with a dark head, back, and long tail, and lighter underparts, perches on a thick, gnarled branch. Its head is tilted downwards, with its beak pointing towards the lower part of the composition. The branch originates from the upper right and curves downwards, extending towards the lower left. Numerous small, light-colored flowers with visible petals and centers are scattered along the main branch and its thinner offshoots. One slender branch extends vertically from the lower center towards the bird. In the lower left, several lines of black calligraphic text and a red square seal are visible. The background is a plain, light, unadorned surface.
