Detailed Description
A vertical, grayscale scroll painting features a bird perched on a thin branch above a large leaf, set against a light, plain background. The central painted area is framed by a dark, patterned border on all four sides, adorned with repeating floral or cloud-like motifs. The bird, positioned slightly below the vertical center, is dark-feathered with a long tail extending downwards to the right. It faces left, with its head tilted slightly upwards. The thin branch extends diagonally from the upper left to the lower right, passing beneath the bird. Below the bird and branch, towards the lower right, is a prominent, dark, rounded shape resembling a large leaf or pod, detailed with lighter lines suggesting veins or creases. To the left of this large shape, a few smaller, lighter leaf-like forms are visible. In the lower right corner, just above the large leaf, there is a vertical block of dark, stylized text or calligraphy.
