Great bustards 1925

"Great Bustards," a 1925 watercolor by Archibald Thorburn, depicts three bustards in a natural setting. Known for his detailed and accurate depictions of birds, Thorburn captures the intricate plumage and postures of these large birds with remarkable precision. The painting, rendered in a naturalistic style typical of his work, is a testament to his mastery of both ornithology and artistic technique. The setting, likely a coastal grassland, adds a sense of realism and allows for a glimpse into the bustard's natural habitat. This work, along with other pieces by Thorburn, remains a valuable resource for bird enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
