About the piece

Dating to 1671, this exquisite East Asian painting captures a tranquil scene of two birds resting on a branch. The composition skillfully balances the intricate details of bamboo leaves and bright red berries with large areas of atmospheric negative space. Its muted ochre background and organic lines create a sophisticated, grounding presence suitable for both traditional and modern interiors.
