Vogels in een park c. 1690 - 1710

"Vogels in een park" (c. 1690-1710) by Willem Hendrik Wilhelmus van Royen depicts a vibrant and detailed scene of a rooster and hen in a lush park setting. The artist, known for his intricate depictions of animals, uses a rich palette and delicate brushstrokes to capture the textures of the birds' feathers and the surrounding foliage. A parrot perched on a branch and a swallow in flight add to the dynamic composition, creating a sense of life and movement within the park. This small-scale oil painting exemplifies van Royen's talent for capturing the beauty of the natural world, showcasing the intricate details of animal life and the tranquility of a Dutch park.
