Small bird on a bamboo branch, with calligraphy, on a vertical ink wash painting
Detailed Description
The image displays a vertical ink wash painting on a light beige paper. A tall, segmented bamboo stalk is positioned centrally, rendered in various shades of grey and brown ink, with darker bands indicating the nodes. To the left of the upper half of the bamboo, a small, fluffy bird is perched on a slender branch that extends horizontally from the left. The bird faces slightly right, with visible details on its head and body, and a short tail. Several bamboo leaves, painted in darker, more opaque ink, are clustered around the upper part of the bamboo stalk and near the bird. In the lower right quadrant, vertical calligraphic characters are visible, rendered in dark ink, with a faint circular red seal beneath them.
