Detailed Description
A vertical composition depicts a rooster standing on a rocky incline. The rooster, positioned in the lower-center, faces left with its head slightly turned back, showcasing a prominent red comb and wattle. Its plumage is a mix of white and cream on the neck and head, transitioning to iridescent blues, dark browns, and black on its body and long, curving tail feathers. Its legs and feet are a pale, light color. To the left of the rooster, several slender bamboo stalks with dark green leaves rise vertically. To its right, a vine with green leaves and several blue and white morning glory flowers, some fully open, some in bud, grows on a small mound. The ground beneath the rooster is depicted with rocky formations and sparse, light green vegetation, accented with small gold flecks. The background is a light golden-brown wash, with subtle vertical brushstrokes. In the upper right corner, a vertical column of black calligraphic text is visible, followed by a small red square seal. The central painting is framed by a narrow gold band, which is then bordered by a wider dark brown fabric with a repeating gold floral pattern.
