Acerca de la obra

Curationist LogoDescripción de objeto de Curationist
Chen Shu, a court artist, painted this chained cockatoo in ink and color on paper. She is widely considered the first female painter of the Qing dynasty. Chen Shu received education in painting as a child, and married into a prominent scholar-official family. Her son became a favorite of the Qianlong Emperor, and advocated for his mother so that eventually the Emperor patronized her work. The artist’s sensitive and detailed portrayal of the bird shows both the animal’s beauty and the cruelty of the chain that thwarts its desire to dive for an insect.
