Pair Of Feathered Bird Paintings, Circa 1900

Pair of decorative paintings depicting two birds perched on leafy branches. Painted in watercolor.
Good overall condition; feathers in very good condition
Frame: 38x33 cm

The birds are crafted from real natural feathers, cut and meticulously assembled to form the plumage on the head, body, wings, and tail. The beaks, legs, branches, and foliage are rendered in watercolor on paper.

The variety of feathers and their colors gives the birds a particularly appealing three-dimensional quality: red, yellow, green, brown, and black contrast with the light background and the delicately painted vegetation.

This technique is not new; examples dating back to the 18th century are known, combining—as here—birds made of real feathers attached to branches and foliage painted in watercolor. A magnificent collection preserved at the Lobkowicz Museum in Prague features this same decorative principle (see photo).
