Album of Sketches by Katsushika Hokusai and His Disciples
The image depicts a Japanese-style painting of a bird with a large black body. The bird has yellow and brown legs and feet with sharp claws and a small head with a short beak. A red and black design adorns the bird's face. The background of the painting is a light brown color with visible signs of aging and wear. There are some Japanese characters written in black ink on the right side of the painting, and a red seal or stamp is located at the bottom right corner. The bird's body is rendered in a loose, expressive brushstroke. The bird's head is turned to the left.
