Visual Summary

Brief Description

A white bird perches on a dark, gnarled branch in a fan-shaped painting, gold-speckled background

Detailed Description

The artwork features a fan-shaped painting centered on a rectangular, gold-speckled background, enclosed by a thin, light brown border. The fan-shaped paper is a light beige or cream color. On the left side of the fan, a thick, gnarled branch, painted in dark black ink, extends horizontally towards the center. Perched on this branch, slightly to the left of center, is a small, white bird with a slender beak, facing towards the right. Above the main branch, to its left, are a few faint, thin lines that suggest smaller branches or reeds. Scattered across the light beige background of the fan, particularly around the bird, are small, subtle white speckles. Near the base of the dark branch, a small, square-shaped red seal or mark is visible. The gold-speckled background surrounding the fan has a textured appearance, with numerous small, light-colored flecks.
