拍品資料及來源

The birds here are carefully observed, each doing something individual, but betray a hint of stylisation. The manner in which wings and tails are rendered no longer represents a life-like bird, but the imposition of an artistic personality on a general understanding of how birds look and behave. These are becoming caricatures of birds in flight which will culminate, eventually, in the birds of the Yangzhou School: as much flying smiles as they are birds, wing-tips, and tails invariably curving relentlessly upwards. Still, the bottle represents an elevated level of artistic and technical quality within the art form.
