'''''Study of a Stork''''' (1781), originally from the [[Impey Album]], is a life size [[watercolor painting]] in the [[Company painting]] style, by [[Sheikh Zainuddin|Shaykh Zayn al-Din]], one of the three artists employed by [[Mary Impey|Lady Impey]]. It depicts a stork eating a snail, with its measurements listed to the left of the drawing. The painting was bought by [[Jacqueline Kennedy]] in the 1970s, before being acquired by the Khosrovani-Diba collection. At [[Sotheby's]] it was called the '''''Kennedy Stork'''''.<ref name="Brown">{{cite news |last1=Brown |first1=Mark |date=29 August 2021 |title='Forgotten masters': auction shines light on India's overlooked artists |url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/aug/29/forgotten-masters-auction-shines-light-on-indias-overlooked-artists |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240218063628/https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/aug/29/forgotten-masters-auction-shines-light-on-indias-overlooked-artists |archive-date=18 February 2024 |access-date=17 February 2024 |work=The Guardian}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last=Moore |first=Susan |date=3 October 2016 |title=A look ahead at October's art market highlights |url=https://www.apollo-magazine.com/a-look-ahead-at-octobers-art-market-highlights/ |journal=Apollo Magazine |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240217180629/https://www.apollo-magazine.com/a-look-ahead-at-octobers-art-market-highlights/ |archive-date=17 February 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=The Stork that Captivated First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy |url=https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/the-stork-that-captivated-first-lady-jacqueline-kennedy#:~:text=Study%20of%20a%20Stork%2C%20signed,New%20York%20Times%20article%3A%20“… |website=Sothebys.com |access-date=17 February 2024 |language=en |date=2 September 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=A study of a Stork, from the Lady Impey Series, signed by Shaykh Zayn al-Din, Company School, Calcutta, dated 1781 |url=https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2016/khosrovani-diba-collection-l16229/lot.20.html |website=Sothebys.com |access-date=17 February 2024 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=In Conversation with Edward Gibbs, Chairman, Sotheby's India |url=https://www.idiva.com/travel-living/home-decor/edward-gibbs-on-sothebys-strategy-and-educational-initiatives-for-india/16112848 |website=iDiva |access-date=17 February 2024 |language=en-IN |date=2 December 2016}}</ref><ref name=Gerlis2016>{{cite news |last1=Gerlis |first1=Melanie |title=The Art Market: it's up to you, New York |url=https://www.ft.com/content/d51719f4-9b9f-11e6-8f9b-70e3cabccfae |access-date=17 February 2024 |work=www.ft.com |date=28 October 2016}}</ref>
