Chinese Export Watercolor Exotic Bird Paintings on Paper

About the Item

China Trade watercolor paintings of exotic birds on branches are in watercolor and gouache on Chinese paper. One picture depicts a pigeon perched on a tree branch with a landscape background. Chinese calligraphy can be seen in the top right corner. The second picture depicts two courting birds in shades of brown, both perched on a branch, also in a landscape background. Both paintings framed with a green silk mat and contemporary gilt and dark wood frame. Reference: Chinese Export Watercolours by Craig Clunas (Victoria and Albert Museum Far Eastern Series), page 89 for very similar composition of a Hawfinch on a branch.
