A small bird on a thin vertical element, with faint lines and an inscription on a light ground
Detailed Description
A vertical painting depicts a small bird rendered in ink wash on a light background. The painting is framed by a gold-colored mounting with subtle patterned details. The bird, positioned in the lower-middle section, is rendered with varying shades of black and grey ink. It has a dark head, a lighter body, and dark wings and tail feathers, and is oriented facing downwards and slightly to the left. It appears to be perched on a thin, vertical element, possibly a reed or a slender branch, which extends from below the bird. To the left of the bird, several faint, vertical lines suggest additional reeds or bamboo stalks. In the lower-left quadrant of the painting, a small inscription of black characters is accompanied by a square red seal.
