The bird stands atop a mound with its long blue legs. Instead of depicting the bird at a water side, its preferred habitat and usual setup, the artist painted it on the land instead. The overall brushwork, in particular of the rock and plant, shows evident traces of traditional Chinese painting technique. The illustration combines precise ornithological documentation with artistic interpretation, characteristic of Chinese natural history paintings of this period. 4205.6 1 accession number 4205.6 317655 priref 317655 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/317655 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/317655 reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference agent-209819 adlib-agent-209819 9e33662d-f007-37cf-b08a-3b352982e58d Canton workshop reference term-106853 adlib-term-106853 25492eb4-1164-35eb-8dce-3601486f3415 19th Century reference term-128516 adlib-term-128516 a7e60cca-458e-39da-9d9f-07698e4158eb literal China China country literal Guangzhou Guangzhou region Guangzhou Height mm 184 Width mm 286 reference term-106211 adlib-term-106211 a643b236-c3c1-3854-ba79-8c4da8aa6dfc watercolour reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference term-8815 adlib-term-8815 d3abddec-eb50-3239-8d87-7fe37b5dee27 Chinese reference term-147625 adlib-term-147625 2914c5fd-f9db-331c-b324-afa3257924e0 Chinese export art reference term-147704 adlib-term-147704 fba0aee4-172e-38d0-93df-2363af8dbf76 Chinese export watercolour
