About the piece
Painted in 1837, this charming work by Dean Wolstenholme the Younger celebrates the unique form of the red pied carrier pigeon. The artist employs a refined technique to detail the bird's variegated plumage and characteristic wattle, set against an atmospheric English landscape of rolling hills and a soft, overcast sky. It is a quintessential example of 19th-century British naturalist portraiture.
