Two Arabian Vultures 1885 - 1917

"Two Arabian Vultures" (1885-1917) by Theo van Hoytema is a captivating depiction of two vultures perched on a rock. Painted in a realistic style, the artist captures the birds' intricate details, from their sharp beaks and piercing eyes to the textured feathers of their wings. The muted color palette of browns and grays reinforces the sense of realism and adds a touch of somberness. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to van Hoytema's talent for capturing the beauty of the natural world.
