"Negen Chinese vogels, waaronder reigers en een ijsvogel" (Nine Chinese Birds, including Herons and a Kingfisher) is a graphite drawing on paper by Gabriel Huquier. Created between 1742 and 1750, the artwork showcases nine birds in various poses. The detailed depictions of herons and kingfishers reflect Huquier's interest in naturalism and scientific observation, common themes in 18th-century European art. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and measures 542 mm in height and 346 mm in width.
