Brief Description
A small bird perches on a gnarled, leafless tree branch against a muted, brownish-gray background
Detailed Description
The artwork is a circular painting. A gnarled, dark brown tree with numerous bare branches dominates the right and center of the composition, extending upwards and to the left. Its thick, twisted trunk emerges from dark, angular rock formations at the bottom. A small bird, with a white belly and dark back and head, is perched on a branch near the center-left, facing right. The branches are thin and delicate, covered with tiny, dark buds. The background is a uniform, muted brownish-gray, with faint, lighter horizontal lines in the mid-ground. Darker, angular rock formations are visible at the lower left, partially obscured by the tree's base. Two red square seals are visible: one in the lower left corner and another in the lower right.
