About the piece

Created around 1810, this delicate watercolor reflects the meticulous naturalist tradition of Company School painting in India. The artwork captures a bird with a distinct black cap and grey-toned wings perched upon a gnarled branch, set against a softly washed landscape of water and distant hills.
