Sparrow Chicks
- Exhibition information
- There are currently no plans to exhibit this artwork at the TNM Collection Exhibitions.
In this work, the artist has skillfully captured the sparrow chicks moving so fervently to be fed that they tilt their basket. The contrast of the delicately rendered birds' feathers in subtle colors and the solid brush lines of the basket's weave is simply superb.
