Description of the work

The artwork depicts a detailed pastel «  à l’écu » painting of a bird, likely a heron or crane, with an elongated neck and an intricate plumage. The feathers exhibit a blend of muted colors, including purples, browns, and grays, with highlighted areas around the neck and back that enhance the bird's textured appearance. The bird's eye is a striking yellow, adding a vivid focal point to the composition, while its beak is long and slender, rendered in shades of orange and brown. The artist employs a delicate brushwork style, capturing the bird's elegant and somewhat scruffy elegance against a minimalist white background, which brings the bird into sharp focus.

Size 39 x 49 in.
