Gao Qifeng followed the example of his brother, Gao Jianfu (1878–1951), and studied art in Japan, where he encountered Western methods of realistic representation, such as shading, coloristic effects, and perspective.Here, Gao drew the blossoming branch in a dashing calligraphic style derived from Chinese eighteenth-century flower-and-bird painting, while he rendered the ruffled plumage of the woodpecker in a far more descriptive manner that includes the deft use of white highlights—a technique he learned in Japan.
