A Hundred Sparrows in a Lofty Grove

Lin Liang

Cleveland Museum of Art

Long, horizontal scroll painting on beige paper, depicting numerous small sparrows in a grove of trees. The trees are rendered in varying shades of brown, with darker tones used for shading and texture. The sparrows are scattered throughout the composition, some perched on branches, others in flight. The painting features dense foliage and multiple tree trunks. Calligraphy in black ink appears at the right end, reading "A Hundred Sparrows in a Lofty Grove" by Lin Liang. A small, illegible inscription is on the left side.
