Asian watercolor – Bird in flight – Signed and with red seal – 48 × 38 cm

Charming watercolor inspired by the Far East, depicting a bird in flight with wings fully spread, in a composition that is both minimalist and full of movement. Created with ink and watercolor on paper, this work features a beautiful bird with ochre, brown, and black plumage, treated with great brush freedom. The touches of black ink, sometimes light and sometimes vigorous, give a remarkable impression of movement to the wings and feathers. The deliberately stripped background particularly highlights the silhouette of the bird and recalls the principles of traditional Chinese and Japanese painting. The work bears a calligraphic inscription in black ink as well as a red seal, located in the upper right part of the composition. It is presented in an elegant gold frame, with a wide ivory mat and an inner gold fillet, perfectly showcasing the delicacy of the subject. This composition will appeal to lovers of Asian art, animal paintings, and refined decor.
