The Collector at the Tolo Residence has the following comments regarding his collection, Alice Ngan’s Bird and Grapes: “The artist has used a clever mix of shades to depict a vibrant picture. The tough vine, young shoot and luscious leaves combine to convey a sense of vigor while the bountiful grapes indicate the happiness of a bumper harvest. The wise little bird perches patiently under the shade, in a nonchalant manner. A good meal will come.”
