About the piece

Created in 1909 by Hungarian artist Géza Vastagh, this pastel on cardboard work captures the unique character of three Marabou storks. Known for his skilled animal depictions, Vastagh utilizes a naturalistic palette of deep greens and earthy greys to bring these statuesque birds to life against a soft, textured background that emphasizes their form and texture.
