Tapuit 1600 - 1662

"Tapuit" is a detailed watercolor painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Pieter Holsteyn, dating back to the 17th century. The painting depicts a small bird, likely a common European bird, with realistic detail and a delicate, muted palette. This work showcases Holsteyn's talent for naturalism and his ability to capture the essence of his subject in a simple, yet striking composition. The artwork's modest dimensions (156mm x 198mm) suggest it was created for private enjoyment rather than grand public display.
