About the piece
This masterful late 17th-century composition, created in the circle of Melchior de Hondecoeter, captures a lively array of birds including a prominent white pelican and a black crowned crane. Set against a lush garden landscape with a classical pavilion and statue, the work demonstrates the Dutch Golden Age tradition of depicting exotic animals with scientific detail and theatrical grandeur.
