Description
Emperor Huizong (1082-1135), Eagle, Scroll, Song Dynasty. Length: 81 cm (31.89 in); Width: 39 cm (15.35 in). Colour on paper. The painting depicts a goshawk perching on withered branches. The hawk turns its head sideways with sharp and piercing eyes. Its plumage is meticulously rendered in layered washes to achieve solid texture. The dead wood is painted in ink, accompanied by broad leaves in a simple and elegant brush style. The inscription "Painted and inscribed by the Emperor" appears in the upper right corner, sealed with Xuanhe imperial seal. The work bears numerous Qing imperial collection seals, including the Seal of the Supreme Emperor, Qianlong's Appreciation Seal and Jiaqing's Appreciation Seal. Following the refined realistic tradition of the Song imperial academy, the painting captures both form and spirit. The goshawk symbolizes valour and vigour. Presented in its original old mounting, it is a treasure from the Song imperial collection.
