介绍（中）	日本花鸟画中的一个常见话题是麻雀和开花的梅枝，让人联想到春天的开始，根据农历，春天将从二月初开始。蔷薇用大量的树枝填充了构图，这些树枝突然扭曲和转动。梅枝的计算紊乱在众多麻雀中找到了回声，其中许多麻雀以相似姿势的轻微变化绘制。鸟类或其他动物直视观众，几乎就像它们想与人类观察者直接交流一样（例如最下层树枝上的一对麻雀），是 Rosetsu 在他的许多画作中使用的视觉策略，例如在鹤的挂轴双联画中，也被大都会艺术博物馆收藏（2011.572.2a，b）。玫瑰花丛的加入让人感到不寻常，因为这种花不是早期现代日本绘画中常见的主题。
介绍（英）	A common topic in Japanese bird-and-flower painting, sparrows and blossoming plum branches evoke the beginning of spring, which according to the lunar calendar would begin in early February. Rosetsu fills the composition with a profusion of twigs that abruptly twist and turn. The calculated disorder of the plum branches finds its echo in the numerous sparrows, many of which the artist painted in slight variations of similar poses. Birds or other animals that gaze straight towards the viewer, almost as if they wanted to enter into direct communication with the human observer (such as the pair of sparrows on the lowermost branch), are a visual strategy that Rosetsu employed in many of his paintings, for instance in the diptych of hanging scrolls of cranes, also in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (2011.572.2a, b). The inclusion of a rose bush strikes one as unusual, as this flower is not a subject matter commonly found in early modern Japanese painting.
