Artwork notes
A bird presented to Jahangir becomes an object of close visual study.
Materials, marks and colour
Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.
Media and surface
Fine brush lines and thin washes can describe feathers without losing the whole silhouette.
Marks and structure
A lightly indicated setting leaves attention on the animal’s particular posture.
Palette and light
Small colour changes and metallic details can distinguish species and surface qualities.
