Stillevens met dood gevogelte 1834 - 1906

"Stillevens met dood gevogelte" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Maria Vos, created between 1834 and 1906. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this work depicts two studies of dead birds in various stages of decomposition. The sketch is characterized by Vos's expressive use of line and shading, capturing the delicate textures and forms of the birds with a sense of both beauty and decay. This intimate and poignant work is a testament to Vos's keen observation of nature and her talent for translating it into art.
