Vogel op een boomtak 1800 - 1884

"Vogel op een boomtak" (Bird on a Branch) is an etching by François de Maleck, created between 1800 and 1884. The small, detailed work depicts a single bird perched on a branch, enclosed within a circular frame. The delicate lines of the etching, and the precise rendering of the bird's feathers, are characteristic of the artist's meticulous style. De Maleck is known for his animal studies, and this work exemplifies his keen observation of nature. The etching's small size, measuring just 31 millimeters in both height and width, adds to its intimate and delicate quality.
