Fantastic Bird

Description for blind and low-vision visitors

A vertical painting on a warm cream background showing a fantastic bird whose long neck arches up and curves back down to a small turquoise beaked head at the right. The bird's large rounded body is a mosaic of red, green and grey patches packed with tiny figures, hearts and white speckling. Streaked tail feathers spill toward the lower right and the bird's dark legs and clawed feet descend at the lower left. Loose blue and reddish brushwork frames the figure, with the painted signature and date in the naive folk style.
