Description
Magpie, Sparrows and Bramble

Ink and color on silk, attached postscript calligraphy on paper

In this painting, the colors are simple and straightforward, while the method of rendering is firm and steady. The branches and stems of the thorny shrubs and phoenix-tail ferns are decorative with a pronounced manner preserving traces of the simple archaism and opulent beauty from the Tang dynasty. Furthermore, the spirit of absolute concentration on the part of the magpie and the twisting poses of the sparrows have all been captured remarkably true to life. Besides the emphasis on “formal likeness” found in Tang painting, this work also reflects the spirit of “sketching from life” in Song dynasty bird-and-flower painting.
