The artwork, titled "Study of a Bird", is known for its meticulous depiction of the bird's plumage and the delicate branches of the tree. The painting, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a testament to the skill of Persian miniature painting, a tradition known for its intricate details and vibrant colors.
