The painting depicts a large tree with bare branches and some flowering or fruiting branches on the left side. The tree's trunk is thick and gnarled, with several large branches extending outwards. Two birds are perched on the branches. A third bird is flying near the tree, and another bird is running on the ground to the left. In the background, there are some hills or mountains. The painting is done in a traditional Japanese style, with bold black lines and subtle color gradations. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of brown, beige, and black dominating the scene. The artwork is titled "Flowers and Birds in a Spring Landscape" and was created by Kano Motonobu.
