Detailed Description
A circular painting features a plain, light brown background. In the upper left quadrant, a small bird with a blue back, white belly, and a dark head with a prominent white eye ring perches on a leafy branch. Its beak points downwards towards the branch. The branch extends from the left side of the composition, bearing several clusters of dark green, elongated leaves. Multiple red, textured, round fruits, with bumpy, reddish-pink skin, hang from the branches, primarily concentrated in the lower right and central areas. In the upper right, a vertical column of dark calligraphic characters is visible. Two red square seals are present, one in the lower left corner and another in the lower right corner, both containing dark characters. A smaller, more abstract red seal, resembling a stylized figure or character, is also visible below the branch in the lower left.
