Description: | Signed: yes Description: This painting appears to be the companion to The Piping Bullfinch (inv. no. 1952.86.20). In contrast to the other canvas, this work shows a gloomy interior. The same figure of the man sits in the centre of the composition mourning the death of the Bullfinch, shown at his feet. The movement of the other birds reflects the sentiment of the work. The observation of detail, inspired by seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish art, combines to create a work that would have appealed to the nineteenth-century audience. | Subjects: | everyday life; interior; figure; animal (bird) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Enhuber, Karl von (German painter, 1811-1867) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8363... | Go to resource |
