Based on a painting collected in the painting album of Song and Yuan dynasties, this embroidery piece features elegance that is typical of the paintings of that historical period. The highlight of this piece of needlework lies in the sense of movement it creates, with the waterfowl seemingly to fly and bite on the shrimp in the water, which, though barely seen, is yet another testimony to the ingenious technique of the artisan. The bird was crafted vividly, with lustrous and fluffy feathers.
