About the piece

Attributed to Tobias Stranover, this mid-18th-century oil painting captures a collection of exotic birds with remarkable precision and naturalist detail. A striking blue-and-yellow macaw serves as the vibrant focal point, while a Great Curassow and other waterfowl gather near a weathered stone basin. The lush, moody landscape reflects the period's fascination with the decorative beauty and scientific wonder of foreign species, making it a sophisticated addition to traditional or maximalist interiors.
