Camellia and Blue-Headed Bird
A small blue-headed bird with a rust-and-white breast perches on a slender branch, its head bent low. Pink camellia blossoms and green leaves frame the composition against a pale golden ground, rendered in ink and color woodblock.
Look closer: A faint round seal near the lower right edge of the sheet.
