Detailed Description
A circular painting features a bird perched on a flowering branch against a plain light brown background. The bird, positioned slightly right of center, faces left with its head turned slightly forward. It has a prominent crest on its head, a dark pointed beak, and dark markings around its eyes. Its chest and belly are light, transitioning to darker, possibly blue-grey, feathers on its back and wings. Hints of red are visible on its tail feathers. The branch, dark brown and gnarled, extends from the lower left, curving upwards and to the right, supporting several clusters of green leaves. Among the leaves are multiple white flowers with distinct yellow centers, some fully open and others appearing as buds. A large, rectangular red seal with two columns of characters is visible at the top center of the circular composition. A smaller, square red seal with characters is located in the lower left quadrant.
