Detailed Description
A painting on a light tan, rectangular sheet of paper depicts a gray bird perched on a branch. The bird, positioned slightly right of center, faces left with its head turned towards the viewer. It has a dark gray head, a prominent yellow eye with a black pupil, and a light gray-brown body with darker feathers on its back and tail. Its dark feet grip a dark brown branch that extends from the upper right towards the lower left. Above and to the left of the bird, several other dark brown branches extend, bearing leaves. Some leaves are a muted gray-brown, while others have a reddish-brown center. Below the bird, another branch extends downwards and to the left, where a single round, orange fruit, resembling a persimmon, hangs among gray-brown leaves. The background is a plain, light tan. In the upper left corner, there is vertical black calligraphic text. In the upper right corner, there are two red square seals, one above the other, and below them, another red square seal.
