This is a monochromatic ink wash painting on paper, depicting a pigeon in an abstract and expressive style. The bird appears to be leaning or possibly falling, with its head tilted downward and its body curved in a soft arc. The artist uses fluid brushstrokes and varying ink densities to create depth and texture, giving the impression of soft feathers and movement. The darkest areas emphasize the pigeon’s wings and legs, while lighter washes define its head and upper body. The background is left blank, focusing attention entirely on the bird's form. The piece conveys a sense of quiet vulnerability and natural beauty.
