A hanging scroll in muted colors on beige paper depicts a red-breasted pheasant looking upward beside white peonies and craggy dark rocks in the foreground. A brown bird rests nearby while another perches on a spindly branch to the right. Faint bamboo leaves sprout from the rocks. In the misty background, two birds fly toward distant, hazy mountain peaks. The scene is rendered with soft ink washes and delicate brushwork.
