About the piece

Attributed to the Qing dynasty court painter Zhang Ruoai, this delicate album leaf belongs to the traditional 'flower and bird' genre. The composition features a meticulously rendered bird with striking blue and yellow plumage perched upon a gnarled plum branch, symbolizing the arrival of spring and renewal.
