EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 13th century print depicts a Wagtail, a small bird native to the Asian continent, perched on a slender branch. The intricately detailed artwork, executed in ink on paper, showcases the artist's mastery of the medium. The bird's profile is rendered with remarkable precision and depth, its feathers delicately textured and shaded. The Wagtail's bright, expressive eyes gaze intently downward, adding a sense of liveliness and personality to the composition. The origins of this artwork are uncertain, but it is believed to have originated from China during the Thirteenth Century. The piece is now part of the esteemed collection at the Musée Cernuschi in Paris, one of the city's most renowned museums dedicated to Asian art. The Wagtail was a popular subject in Chinese heritage art, often depicted in poetry and painting for its lively movement and distinctive appearance. This print, with its bold use of color and striking composition, is a testament to the enduring appeal of this beloved bird and the artistic traditions of the time. The print's intricate details and fine lines suggest the hand of a skilled artist, possibly Kai Liang or Liang Kai, two renowned masters of the period. Regardless of the artist's identity, this Wagtail print remains a captivating example of the graphic arts from the Far East during the Middle Ages.
