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). - [Previous: c20.s2.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c20.s2.36) - [Next: c20.s2.38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c20.s2.38) - [Up: c20.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c20.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c20.s2.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c20.s2.37) · Pramāṇa
