Sparrows on Grass Beneath a Flowering Branch – Asymmetrical Layout with Soft Gray Washes and Warm Brown Plumage
Three sparrows cluster in short grass as a flowering stalk climbs the left margin, leaving broad open space to the right. Muted grays, black lines, and warm browns suggest a Japanese ukiyo-e style and a calm, nature-focused mood.
