Eksotisk fugl 1799 - 1860

Johan Christian Ernst Walter's "Eksotisk fugl" (Exotic Bird) is a watercolor painting dating from 1799-1860, depicting a bird of paradise perched on a branch with its impressive plumage fully displayed. The artist captures the bird's beauty with intricate detail, showcasing the iridescent colors of its feathers and the delicate texture of its skin. The painting's realistic style, typical of the period, reflects the growing interest in natural history and scientific illustration during the 19th century. "Eksotisk fugl" is a testament to Walter's talent and his fascination with the exotic beauty of the natural world. It is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
