EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor on paper, created by the renowned Dutch artist Aert Schouman in 1752, captures the beauty and grace of two birds perched on a branch. The apple finch (Coccothraustes coccothraustes), also known as the Brambling, is depicted on the left, its vibrant orange-red underbelly contrasting sharply with its brown and white feathers. The keep or Brambling (Fringilla montifringilla), on the right, displays its distinctive black and white striped head and brown body. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush, green trees and branches, with the delicate texture of the leaves and the intricate details of the birds' feathers brought to life through Schouman's masterful use of watercolor paint. The artist's skillful depiction of the birds' postures and expressions adds a sense of liveliness and personality to the artwork. This beautiful piece is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands in the eighteenth century, and is a must-see for any art lover or bird enthusiast. It is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to captivate audiences with its stunning color and intricate detail.
