Hollandse vogel Possibly 1770 - 1787

"Hollandse vogel" is a watercolor painting by Dutch artist Jan Brandes, dating back to sometime between 1770 and 1787. It depicts a small bird, likely a finch, perched on a branch with a light blue sky in the background. The painting is a meticulous and detailed representation of the bird, capturing its subtle plumage and delicate features with precision. This artwork serves as an example of Brandes's skill in capturing the beauty and intricacies of the natural world. The watercolor's small size, measuring just 195mm in height and 155mm in width, adds to its intimacy and detail-oriented focus.
