Lin Liang - Two Hawks in Winter

Together with Shen Zhou, Xu Wei, Dong Qichang and Chen Hongshou, Lin Liang (1416-1480) was among the Ming Dynasty painters who exerted a strong influence on Bada Shanren. Particularly notable here is the highly contrasted, quasi abstract, brushwork.

Compare this painting to Hawks in winter, Two Hawks in a Thicket and Two Eagles
