Birds in an Apple Tree， a Song Dynasty（960.1279） round fan painting by an unknown author， 24.8cm×24.8cm， in the collection of the Palace Museum， Taipei.
In the autumn forest is full of the fragrance of red apples， while a small mountain bird stays on it. The bird sways its tiny tail and stares at its front. The tree branches and the apples are painted in an ancient style and the bird seems lively and natural.
