第一眼

论画以形似,见与儿童邻。

—— 宋·苏轼《书鄢陵王主簿所画折枝》

只求画得像,是小孩的眼光。苏轼不是不要形似,是说形似之后还有一层:神。这一幅略高于宽,落点在中央偏上那只鸟的头部。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)

This species, the type of which is in the celebrated collection of the late Count Turati at Milan, is an inhabitant of Colombia, but nothing is known respecting its range or exact habitat.

Mr. Elliot possesses a second specimen in his collection, also from Colombia, and a third is in Messrs. Salvin and Godman’s Collection, said to have been shot near Hondo, in the valley of the Magdalena River, Colombia.

The following description of the species is borrowed from Mr. Elliot’s well-known ‘Synopsis of the Trochilidæ,’ where he states that it may be told from its allies by its bronzy tail and by the metallic blue of the forehead and crown:—

Male. Forehead and centre of crown blue, graduating into greenish blue near the occiput; remainder of the upper part of the head very dark grass-green, black in some lights. Throat green, with a small metallicviolet spot in the centre. A broad white band across the throat. Abdomen, flanks, and under tail-coverts glittering grass-green. Upper tail-coverts metallic violet-red. Tail dark greenish bronze. Bill black. Total length 5 inches, wing 21116, tail 218, culmen 138.

The female is unknown.

Mr. Elliot kindly lent the specimen from which the two figures in the Plate are drawn, an adult male being represented in two positions and of the size of life.

[R. B. S.]
