Description
English: In the sixteenth year of the Qianlong emperor’s reign (1751), the high court official Fuheng (1720-1770) presented this white bird of prey as tribute, and Giuseppe Castiglione was ordered to paint it from life, the pine tree and landscape with a waterfall added by another court artist. The branch of an old pine tree extends across the composition with a white bird of prey (falcon) perched on it, a cascade descending into the valley behind. The falcon with its short flat head peers out, its eyes sparkling black. It also has a pointed beak and muscular legs with sharp talons. The ruling Manchu at the Qing court often received birds of prey as tribute, reflecting the common interests and heritage they shared with northern nomadic peoples. source
