Geplukte vogel, met de kop naar beneden hangend 1775 - 1833

"Geplukte vogel, met de kop naar beneden hangend" (Plucked Bird, Hanging Head Down) is a detailed drawing by Jean Bernard from the 18th century. The artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a bird, likely a game bird, in a realistic manner, focusing on the texture of its feathers and the delicate structure of its limbs. This piece is a fine example of the Dutch tradition of still life, known for its meticulous depiction of natural objects and its focus on the beauty found in the everyday.
