Detailed Description
A vertical painting depicts a small bird and a large white flower on a central green stem against a plain, light gray background. In the upper right, a small bird with brown and white plumage is perched on the thick, light green stem, facing downwards towards the flower. Its head is tilted, and its small, dark eye is visible. The stem extends vertically through the center of the composition, with several dark green leaves branching off it. In the lower half of the painting, a prominent, large white flower with multiple soft petals is shown. The flower has a yellow center, and numerous small, clear water droplets are visible on its petals. To the left of the main flower, several smaller green leaves and two reddish-brown flower buds are visible. A small, dark, unreadable mark is present on one of the dark green leaves to the left of the large white flower. Another water droplet hangs from a leaf near the bottom right of the flower. The background is a uniform, light gray.
