About the piece

Attributed to the Qing dynasty artist Bian Shoumin in 1726, this album leaf exemplifies the 'bird-and-flower' genre with its sophisticated use of negative space and delicate brushwork. The composition features wild geese in various states of rest and flight among marsh reeds, rendered with a soft, atmospheric touch that invites contemplation.
