Wilt /ô! jonge jeugd dees vogelen bekyken / Die zeer uistekende na levendig gelyken 1555 - 1804

This print, titled "Wilt /ô! jonge jeugd dees vogelen bekyken / Die zeer uistekende na levendig gelyken," was created by Erven de Weduwe Jacobus van Egmont between 1555 and 1804. The artwork, which is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases five different species of birds, meticulously rendered with hand-painted colors. The detailed depictions of these birds reflect the scientific and artistic interests of the time, and would have been used to educate and entertain viewers. The print exemplifies the flourishing of natural history illustrations in the Netherlands during this period.
