Partridge In Flight 1898

Archibald Thorburn was a celebrated British painter of birds and wildlife, known for his meticulous attention to detail and lifelike portrayal of animals. His painting *Partridge In Flight* from 1898 depicts a single partridge in flight, a common game bird often featured in hunting scenes. Thorburn's realistic style captures the graceful movement of the bird against a pale background, showcasing its vibrant plumage with incredible accuracy. The presence of two smaller birds in the distance adds depth and complexity to the composition.
