Rietgors (?) 1650 - 1719

"Rietgors (?)" is a watercolor painting by Dutch artist Jan Weenix, created between 1650 and 1719. The small-scale artwork depicts a bird perched on a branch, with a simple background suggestive of a natural landscape. Weenix, renowned for his still life and animal paintings, was a master of realistic detail and fine brushwork. This artwork is a beautiful example of Weenix's ability to capture the delicate beauty of nature in a small, intimate format.
