Brief Description
A fragmented painting depicts a stylized, colorful bird with an elaborate tail on a light background
Detailed Description
The artwork is a vertical, fragmented painting on a light paper background. The central and dominant element is a large, stylized bird, rendered in vibrant colors. The bird's body is oriented vertically, facing towards the upper right, with its head tilted upwards and beak open. Its plumage is highly detailed, featuring a mix of dark gray, red, white, and light blue-green. The bird's chest and upper body are predominantly white with red and blue-green accents, while its back and wings are covered in dark gray, scale-like patterns with small red and blue-green details. The long, flowing tail feathers extend downwards and curve slightly to the left, displaying a blend of light gray, blue-green, and red ribbons or strands. The edges of the painted bird are irregular and appear torn, indicating the fragmented nature of the piece. In the upper left corner, above the bird's head, there is a small, rectangular red mark with faint, illegible text or patterns. To its right, in the upper right corner, a circular red mark is visible. The background paper is a uniform light beige or off-white, showing some signs of age and slight discoloration.
