Detailed Description
A dark bird is perched on a thin branch against a muted brown background. The bird, positioned slightly left of center, faces left with its head turned slightly upwards. It has a rounded body, dark plumage, and a distinctive, slightly raised crest on its head. Its beak is pointed, and its eye is a small dark dot. Its feet grip the slender, dark branch. The branch extends from the lower left quadrant, curving gently upwards and then downwards, disappearing off the right edge of the frame. Several thin, dark lines, resembling leaves or additional delicate branches, emerge from the right side of the composition, some extending towards the bird. In the upper left corner, a vertical column of dark characters is visible, with a small, rectangular red seal directly below it. Another smaller vertical inscription appears in the lower right corner. The background is a uniform, medium-dark brown, showing some subtle variations in tone. The central painted area is framed by a lighter, off-white border with a faint, repeating pattern.
