A bird with dark feathers on its back and head, and light feathers on its body, is bending down, with its wings slightly raised and its head facing to the right. The bird's beak is open and it appears to be standing on a low wall or ledge. Behind the bird are some dark, thin lines that appear to be branches or reeds. There are some Japanese characters written vertically on the bottom left of the image, with one red seal below them. The background of the image is a light beige color, and the entire image is surrounded by a thin, textured gold border. The artwork is titled "Bird at the Water's Edge" and is by Kawabata Gyokushō.
