Birds on an Autumn Inlet is a 1200 unspecified by Unknown, a Song Landscape work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a quiet scene of nature in a round shape. There’s a small boat on calm water, a few bare trees with some green leaves, and a bird flying above. The colors are mostly browns and grays, with a few touches of green and red. The trees look simple but full of life, even though they’re mostly bare. The boat is tiny, almost lost in the scene, which makes it feel peaceful. If you like this style, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like it.
The pair of ducks displays plumage dimorphism with the male more ornamented or brightly colored than the female.
