Brief Description
Small bird on slender stem above large dark leaves in monochrome ink painting
Detailed Description
The artwork is a vertical monochrome ink painting on a light, off-white background. A small bird is positioned in the upper-middle section, facing slightly towards the left. Its head and back are rendered in dark ink, while its belly appears lighter. The bird is perched on a thin, dark stem that extends downwards and slightly to the right, with a few small, dark dots along its length. To the right of the bird, another taller, very thin stem rises vertically. In the lower right portion of the painting, two large, rounded leaves are depicted using dark ink wash, showing visible brushstrokes that suggest veins and texture. To the left of these leaves, a faint, curved line appears, possibly indicating a water surface. Below and to the right of these leaves, there are dark calligraphic characters and a rectangular red seal.
