The painting depicts a landscape divided into four panels. A brown rocky area with tufts of grass and white flowers dominates the scene. A small bird sits on a branch; another flies near the top. To the right, a large tree grows from rocks and has white blossoms. A third bird flies above the tree. The border around the painting has a thin black line and a decorative pink and white pattern. The painting style is traditional Japanese. The title is "Birds and Flowers of the Four Seasons" by Kano Sanboku.
