About the Item

A detailed watercolour study featuring a dead bird alongside berries and a grasshopper. Though morbid in subject, dead birds have a long and rich history in Western Art History. The composition perhaps serves as a memento mori - a reminder of the fragile beauty of life. Faintly signed to the lower right. Well presented in an ornate gilt-effect frame. On paper.
