The birds in this album, exquisitely drawn and coloured, are worthy of Mansūr and may possibly be from his brush. I admire particularly the picture on folio 8 of a bird like a quail, with brown plumage, standing by the side of a pool fringed with grass, flowers, and bamboos in extraordinarily good perspective. The blue sky, unfortunately, is rather coarse (Text, Fig. 250).
