Detailed Description
A horizontal painting presents a natural landscape scene with birds and various plants. On the far left, a large tree with numerous small, reddish-pink flowers on its branches stands over a muted green-brown ground. Below this tree, two chickens are visible: a rooster with a red comb and colorful plumage, and a smaller brown hen, both appearing to peck at the ground. In the central area, a prominent, dark, jagged rock formation rises, with a tall plant resembling a banana tree, featuring large green leaves, emerging from behind it. Another rooster, similar in coloring to the first, stands near the base of these central rocks. Scattered around the rocks are various flowering plants with pink and white blossoms. To the right, a long-tailed bird, possibly a pheasant, with distinctive long white tail feathers, perches on a lighter-colored rocky mound. A smaller, darker bird is partially visible behind it. More flowering plants and green foliage are distributed across the ground and smaller hills in the right portion of the painting. The background throughout is a uniform, light brown-green.
