About the piece

Attributed to the British artist Marmaduke Cradock circa 1700, this oil painting showcases a rich tapestry of avian life. A magnificent peacock with its iridescent tail and a display-ready turkey take center stage against a backdrop of weathered classical ruins and a soft, atmospheric landscape, reflecting the period's interest in both natural history and antiquity.
