About the Item

This exquisite miniature painting by Dina Brodsky captures the striking presence of a Drongo bird, rendered in gouache and watercolor on authentic calf parchment. Known for her meticulous detail and luminous surfaces, Brodsky masterfully brings this deep-blue bird to life, its piercing red eye locking the viewer in an intense, almost mesmerizing gaze. The delicate brushwork and rich hues highlight the Drongo’s iridescent plumage, elongated tail feathers, and sharp beak, evoking a sense of quiet mystery. The natural weathered texture of the parchment lends the piece an aged, timeworn elegance, reminiscent of Old Master techniques, which have deeply influenced Brodsky’s work. This intimate composition combines the tradition of illuminated manuscripts with a contemporary sensitivity to nature and wildlife. Perfect for collectors of miniature paintings, bird art, or nature-inspired works, this rare and intricate piece embodies the timeless beauty of fine craftsmanship.

Pigeon Landing, 2023, miniature realist animal painting
By Dina Brodsky
Located in New York, NY

She was drawn to miniature painting from her study of Islamic miniature art and medieval illuminated manuscripts, whose techniques she combined with those of classical painting. She is amongst a group of contemporary realist painters, such as Timothy Barr...
