A blue and green bird perches on a branch with large blue-green leaves and blue-green flowers. The bird has a long tail and faces downward, with its head near a flower. The background is a light beige color. There are two columns of Japanese characters on either side. The artist's signature appears to be in the bottom-right corner.
