第一眼

凡画山水,意在笔先。

—— 唐·王维《山水论》

下笔之前,心里已经有了整幅画。看画时可以反过来推:画家先定了什么,后添了什么。这一幅是竖的:眼睛从下往上走,落点在中段那只鸟身上。先别急着看羽毛,让姿态先立起来。第二步凑近一寸:看线与色的交界,色有没有压住线,线有没有断。第三步,把视线放到最深的那一小块:整幅的用色秩序,都是从那里排开的。

原书文字(英文 / 法文)

Mr. H. Whitely discovered the present species in British Guiana, having met with it on Roraima and on the Merumé Mountains.

It is stated by Messrs. Salvin and Godman to be allied to A. viridiventris, but to differ in its less forked tail, cinnamon vent, and in the coppery cinnamon, instead of violet, colour of the tail; they found these characters quite constant in a considerable series of skins sent by Mr. Whitely.

The following is a translation of the original description:—

Top of the head and entire body below brilliant green, the back tinged with copper-colour; upper tailcoverts and tail dark cinnamon, washed with copper-colour; a patch on the flanks and the thighs snowy white; vent pure cinnamon without spots; upper mandible dusky, the base of the mandible pale for two thirds of its length. Total length 3·5 inches, wing 2·0, tail 1·15, bill from gape 0·8.

The figures in the Plate represent the adult male in three positions, and have been drawn from one of the typical specimens lent to us by Messrs. Salvin and Godman.

[R. B. S.]
