This painting shows a Taiwan yuhina, a small bird, in a simple setting. The bird is painted in detail, with feathers and a beak. This kind of painting was made in China for European visitors, which is interesting because it shows what Europeans were interested in back then. You can learn more about this type of art at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
