Blauwe pauw 1759 - 1842

"Blauwe pauw" is a detailed watercolor painting by Pieter Pietersz. Barbiers, created between 1759 and 1842. The artwork depicts a single peacock in profile, its tail feathers spread out in a fan-like display. The intricate details of the peacock's plumage, with its iridescent green, blue, and gold hues, showcase Barbiers' skilled hand and keen eye for observation. The realistic portrayal of the peacock, along with the soft, muted background, emphasizes the bird's beauty and elegance, making it a striking example of naturalism in 19th-century Dutch art.
