Huismus bij zijn nest in een luchtkoker 1900 - 1930

"Huismus bij zijn nest in een luchtkoker" (House Sparrow at its Nest in a Vent), a photo by Richard Tepe (1864-1952), depicts a house sparrow perched on a nest located within a vent in a wall. This photograph showcases Tepe's interest in capturing the natural world in its most intimate details. The sparrow is rendered in great detail, and the composition highlights the bird's vulnerability as it sits in its exposed nest. The image evokes feelings of both beauty and fragility, common themes in Tepe's photography. This piece is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
