Description
Northern Italian School, circa 1600 A pair of studies of a lapwing Pen and black ink and watercolour, heightened with touches of white, on laid paper, each bird silhouetted and laid to a support This fascinating pair of ornithological studies is by a distinctive but as-yet-unidentified artist, almost certainly from the Northern provinces of the Italian peninsula and active at the start of the 17th century. Further examples by this anonymous hand include a Study of a Magpie and Kestrel, previously with Cortona Fine Art, Milan (and exhibited in their 2021 show The Seduction of Drawing, cat. no. 2); and a Study of a Lapwing, sold at Bassenge, Berlin, 31.05.2019, lot 6619a. Our as-yet-anonymous artist was likely inspired by Giovanni da Udine (1487-1564). There is also a group of similarly-silhouetted ornithological studies in tempera and watercolour on paper, which are laid to larger supporting sheets, in the Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe degli Uffizi, Florence. These works are catalogued as inv. nos. 2094 Orn, 2101 Orn., 2111 Orn., 2119-2121 Orn., 2123-2127 Orn. Provenance: Private collection, Germany Dimensions: (Frame) 12.75 in. (H) x 15.75 in. (W) (Paper) 7.5 in. (H) x 10.5 in. (W)
