Brief Description
Three birds, likely geese, stand and forage in a sparse natural setting on a scroll
Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting features three birds, likely geese, rendered in dark ink wash on a light, tan-colored background. The central painted area is framed by decorative fabric borders. Two birds are positioned in the lower-left quadrant, standing upright with their long necks extended upwards, their beaks slightly open. Their bodies are depicted with textured dark ink, suggesting feathers, and they have visible webbed feet. To the right and slightly lower, a third bird is shown facing right, its head down. Its body is also rendered with dark ink, showing feather details. Above and to the left of the birds, several thin, dark lines extend upwards, suggesting sparse reeds or tall grasses. The ground beneath the birds is depicted with subtle ink washes, creating a slightly uneven surface with a few darker, amorphous shapes that could represent rocks or clumps of earth. The background of the central painting is a uniform light tan or beige. The decorative borders on the left and right sides feature a repeating pattern of stylized floral or cloud motifs in muted gold-brown and grey-blue tones. The top and bottom borders are lighter, with smaller, scattered gold patterns.
