Three ink wash birds in flight against a light beige background with a faint curved shape
Detailed Description
A tall, vertical scroll painting features three birds in flight against a light beige background. The background is mostly empty, with a faint, light-colored, curved shape along the left edge, possibly representing a distant cloud or mountain. The birds are rendered in varying shades of gray and black ink wash. The smallest bird is positioned in the upper right quadrant, flying towards the right with its wings spread. Below and to the left of this bird are two larger birds, both flying towards the left. The upper of these two larger birds has its wings fully extended, while the lower bird, slightly in front, also has its wings spread and its legs visible. The ink wash creates a sense of depth and texture in their feathers. In the lower right corner, black ink calligraphy is present, followed by a square red seal. The painting is framed by decorative borders: a light brown, speckled pattern at the top and bottom, and a muted green-blue border with a subtle floral or leafy motif along the left and right sides.
