Description: | This exquisite painting on copper, one of a pair with TWCMS: C7373, is a fine example of Jan van Kessel's work, which has been extremely popular with collectors from his own time until the present day. The quality of the painting technique only emphasises the exoticness of the birds depicted, and highlights the rarity both of the subject matter, and the jewel-like nature of the object itself. In this work the characteristics of the birds have been exaggerated, and the human qualities they have been lent, add a humorous note. | Subjects: | animal (bird) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Kessel, Jan van, II (Flemish painter, 1626-1679) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8414... | Go to resource |
