Item Details

A rare pair of 19th-century French featherwork and watercolour studies of pheasants, depicting a rooster with a dark green head and a hen with muted plumage, each perched on a branch surrounded by foliage. The bodies of the birds are constructed from pheasant plumage, carefully cut and arranged to match feather texture and direction towards a striking naturalistic effect. The rich colours and patterns of the feathers contrast beautifully with the lightness of the surrounding watercolour, rendered in a naive style reminiscent of natural history illustration.


A rare and charming pair, presented in their original wood-grained frames with inner gilded beaded slips.
