Bird

Kim Eun-ho completed many landscape, bird and flower paintings—as well as those of birds and animals—and he was especially good at accurately detailed colored paintings. In the center of this painting a bird sits on the branch of a cherry tree in autumn, and behind that are the twigs of a low bamboo tree. He depicts worm-eaten leaves with remarkable accuracy and the bird as if a stuffed bird had served as his model, reminding us of pictures painted in modern Japan.
