This small painting shows a colorful bird with brown and blue feathers standing on the ground. Behind it, there’s a simple drawing of a temple with a tall spire and a tree nearby. Below the bird, a patch of green plants and water is sketched in loose, watery lines. The artist signed it "Ishwari Prasad" in the corner, which means this is their work. The bird looks real, but the temple and background are drawn lightly, almost like a quick sketch. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like it.
