Bird on a Branch

Xie Zhiliu Chinese

Not on view

This is one of four drawings in which Xie repeated an image of the same bird but experimented with various configurations of branches and leaves. Because this drawing is done in pencil and is the most complex of the four, it may have been the starting point of the series.
