Description

Annotated in German with the specific names in a contemporary hand.  This unique collection of four feather bird pictures presents an array of different birds.  The pictures are a marriage of watercolour and actual bird feathers.  The works are among the most charming and fascinating bird studies of the period.  This tradition dates back to the late 17th century when collecting bird feathers was a popular endeavour among hunters and naturalists.  In the 19th century, the artistic tradition of incorporating a birds plumage into natural history watercolours and illustrations was fine-tuned and accomplished with remarkable precision resulting in delightful bird portraits.  The pictures are 21cm x 26cm, framed 30cm x 34cm
