Visual Summary

Brief Description

An ink wash painting of a crested bird perched on a gnarled tree stump, framed by gold fabric.

Detailed Description

An ink wash painting depicts a bird perched on a tree stump, set against a light, unadorned background. The bird, positioned in the upper-middle section, faces towards the left with its head slightly raised. It has a dark head with a distinct crest, and its body is rendered with varying shades of dark gray and black ink, showing feather details with lighter edges. Its underside appears lighter. The bird's small, dark feet grip the top of a dark, gnarled tree stump. The stump extends downwards, rendered with broad, dark ink washes, and features several small, bare branches protruding from its sides. Towards the bottom, the stump dissolves into lighter ink washes and a few thin, dark lines suggesting sparse foliage or roots. A wide, decorative gold fabric border with intricate floral or cloud patterns frames the painting, appearing wider and more ornate at the top and bottom edges.
