More about this artwork
The painting depicts a majestic white bird, possibly a peacock or a fantastical creature, set against a muted gold background. The bird is portrayed in a regal and slightly stylized pose, with its head turned elegantly upward and to the side, showcasing a slender neck and a proud, alert expression. Its body and wings are exquisitely detailed, emphasizing the smooth and flowing feathers. The most striking feature of this bird is its tremendously long and elaborate tail feathers that cascade behind it in a luxuriant sweep. These feathers are intricately designed, each one adorned with a delicate eye pattern that resembles those found on peacock feathers. The bird’s crest is highlighted by a subtle red detail, adding a touch of color to the otherwise monochrome depiction.
