Sparrows and Bamboo by Shiken Saidō. The painting depicts two small birds perched on a bamboo branch. The birds have brown and white plumage with distinctive markings. One bird sits behind the other on a branch extending from the bottom-left corner. The branch has several long, thin leaves. The background of the painting is a light brown color with a textured appearance. There are several lines of black calligraphy on the right side. Two red seals are visible, one in the bottom-left corner and another near the calligraphy. The painting's surface appears aged and worn.
