拍品資料及來源

'Tong Yuan, who is the eldest son of Xishuang (Tong Kai), is skilled in (such genres as) flower-and-bird, grass-and-insect. His brush method is elegant and refined, and his art owes as much to his persistent effort as to his (family) heritage. Not only there are none among contemporary artists who can be his match, but he could truly surpass the past masters. In temperament, he is gentle and considerate. Through his life, there was not a single instance when he was seen to speak with haste or to become unnerved and agitated. Truly he is a gentleman whose talent and virtue are equally superior.
The present painting in the Papp collection displays a flock of magpies. Each of the magpies poses in ways that we can term 'classical' in that they can be traced to antecedents in the past. In line with Tong Yuan's gentle personality, there is little drama in the painting, unless we point to the black and white contrast in the plumage and to the lively posturing of the birds, especially with their tails. All the while, the brush caresses, the ink modulates and softens, and azurite blue is applied to the rock and to feathers to increase their intense blackness.'
- Journeys on Paper and Silk, p. 72
