Detailed Description
A painting depicts a large white rooster with small chicks and bamboo stalks on a light, neutral background. The rooster, positioned in the lower right and center, faces right with its head lowered, looking towards the ground. It has prominent white tail feathers, a bright red comb, and a red wattle. Its legs and claws are a golden-yellow hue. Clustered around the rooster's feet are several small chicks, some yellow and some with darker markings, also looking downwards. To the left of the rooster, a cluster of bamboo stalks with pointed leaves extends upwards, rendered in dark ink washes. The background is a plain, light grey-tan color.
