This picture has no style. The seal is sealed with “Song Luo Approval”. The inscription on the side of the frame: “The Song Dynasty painted a bird perching on a tile”
The sparrow often sleeps between the eaves and tiles, so it is called “tile sparrow”. In the picture, a branch of begonia stretches out from left to right. The fruit is scattered on the branches. The leaves have been stained with autumn frost, mixed with red, yellow and green. They are beautiful and lovely. Some of the leaves and fruits have been eroded by insects. There are five tillarks perched on the branches of Begonia, four of which either shrink their necks to nourish their nerves, or trim their feathers, with different postures and comfortable looks. Only one in the middle found a wasp on the leaves on the top of their head, so they looked up, opened their mouth to peck, and the wasp seemed to find a dangerous situation, cocked their tail and opened their teeth, ready to deal with it. This picture is static and dynamic, with tension and relaxation, which is deeply consistent with the painting principle
Waque feathers are finely carved and highly realistic. Begonia is lightly hooked and lightly dyed to show the light and thin texture of autumn leaves lacking water. Tile finches and fruits, leaves and branches run through each other in an orderly way. Although the branches of the ink brush are thin, it is still strong and powerful with strong and light ink to distinguish the yin and yang from the back
It is saved in the book Collection of Paintings of Song Dynasty. Description of Shiqu Treasure Collection.
