Brief Description
Circular painting of a muted landscape with trees, rocks, a winding river, and four birds
Detailed Description
A circular painting depicts a muted landscape rendered in shades of brown and gray. In the upper right, a gnarled tree branch with clusters of leaves extends downwards and left. Two small birds, with lighter undersides and darker backs, are perched on this branch, facing left. Below the tree, a prominent rocky formation with irregular contours rises from the lower right. Delicate, sparse foliage, resembling bamboo, grows around and behind these rocks. A third bird, similar in appearance to the ones above, is perched on the top of this rocky formation, facing left. A winding river or stream flows from the distant background, through the middle ground, and into the lower left foreground. Its banks are gently sloped, with minimal vegetation. A fourth bird is positioned on the left bank of the river, near the water's edge, facing right. The background consists of a flat, expansive plain or body of water, meeting a low horizon line. The upper portion of the circle is a uniform, unadorned expanse of light tone. The entire scene is rendered with subtle variations in shade.
