Zhang Ruoai

Cleveland Museum of Art

A bird with a gray head and white wing patches preens its feathers while perched on a branch extending from the left. The branch is adorned with oval-shaped green leaves and clusters of small white flowers. The bird's head is tucked into its back feathers, and it has a long black beak, orange legs, and greenish-gray tail feathers. The background is a light-brown color resembling aged paper.
