啼秋圖Birdsong in Autumn

A single small bird perches gracefully on a slender branch laden with vibrant yellow autumn leaves, its beak slightly open as if singing or calling into the crisp air. The bird's feathers are rendered in soft black and white with subtle highlights, contrasting beautifully against the rich golden foliage and dark, textured branches. Ink washes create depth and atmosphere—faint blue tones suggest twilight or mist, evoking quiet melancholy and the fleeting beauty of fall.
