Een papegaay / een arent / swaan en oyevaar / Staan hier na 't leven by elkaar 1770 - 1794

This 18th-century Dutch woodcut print, titled "Een papegaay / een arent / swaan en oyevaar / Staan hier na 't leven by elkaar," depicts a parrot, an eagle, a swan, and a stork. Created by the Erven Hendrik van der Putte, the work demonstrates the popular Dutch fascination with exotic animals from far-away lands. Each bird is shown in a separate framed image, with detailed descriptions accompanying the illustrations. The use of woodcut printing, a traditional technique, reflects the artistic style and craftsmanship of the time. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the cultural and artistic trends of 18th-century Netherlands.
