Flowers and Birds

Qian Xuan

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting "Flowers and Birds" by Qian Xuan depicts two birds perched on a flowering tree branch against a mottled brown background. The bird on the right faces left, has a black crest on top of its head, a long black tail, and black and white striped wings. The bird on the left, partially hidden, faces right with a long beak. The tree branch extends from the bottom-left corner to the right side with green leaves and white flowers with pink buds. A small insect is visible near the bottom-right corner. The artwork is framed by a thin off-white border.
