Kinderen uit deez' prent kont gy vier vogels leeren, / Die onderscheiden zyn in kleur van hunne veeren [(...)] 1806 - 1830

This woodcut print, created between 1806 and 1830 by Johan Noman, depicts four different species of birds perched on branches. The print is titled "Kinderen uit deez' prent kont gy vier vogels leeren, / Die onderscheiden zyn in kleur van hunne veeren […]" which translates to “Children, from this picture you can learn about four birds, / Which are distinguished by the colour of their feathers.” The detailed depictions of the birds and their surroundings, along with the accompanying Dutch text, suggest an educational purpose, likely intended for young children. The print is a fine example of the naturalist tradition in Dutch art.
