This hanging scroll, dated 1749, was painted by the revered artist Shen Quan. It depicts a stand-off between two birds, the eagle and the rooster, each dominant in its own sphere. The former, perched high on a branch, is a symbol of strength; the latter, firmly rooted to the ground, is the beloved bringer of daylight and one of the most popular subjects in Chinese art
Estimate: HK$100,000-200,000

Estimate: $12,000-18,000
