Hello, this item is a traditional Chinese ink and watercolor painting on paper depicting sparrows perched on bamboo branches, rendered in expressive calligraphic brushwork. The use of fluid black ink for the bamboo and warm ochre tones for the birds suggests a composition influenced by the Lingnan or Shanghai School traditions. The presence of a red artist’s seal and calligraphic inscription at the upper right corner supports authorship attribution. Based on the stylistic evidence and the inscription, the work could tentatively be attributed to Chen Wen Hsi (1906–1991), a celebrated Singaporean-Chinese modern ink painter known for merging classical Chinese brush techniques with modernist abstraction.

The painting measures approximately 47 by 37 centimeters and appears to be in stable condition with minor paper toning along the borders. If confirmed as an authentic work by Chen Wen Hsi, its market value could range between 4,000 and 8,000 USD, depending on provenance and exhibition history.
