A solitary red-crowned crane soars above a tranquil marsh, its wings spread wide as it takes flight through soft mist. Tall reeds frame the water’s edge, their reflections mirrored in the still surface. The painting uses a restrained palette of black, white, and grey with a pop of red on the crane’s crown, evoking the traditional elegance of Japanese Sumi-e (ink wash) painting. The brushwork is minimal yet expressive, capturing both motion and stillness in a single moment.
