Description
A single waxwing perches in profile on a slender diagonal branch, its crested head turned upward and back, beak pointing toward the upper left. The plumage is rendered in warm tan and cinnamon tones with a black eye-mask, pale cream throat and crest, black-and-white barred wing and tail feathers, a touch of red at the flank, and a yellow-tipped tail band; grey-blue feet grip the branch. Sprays of small yellow blossoms and grey-black leaves branch across the upper right and lower portions of the composition against a plain cream ground, with a Japanese title inscription in the upper left corner.
