Expressive oil on board painting by contemporary artist Ray Simonini, depicting a stylized cow portrait rendered with thick impasto brushstrokes. Simonini employs a bold, gestural technique, layering rich colors and textures to create a dynamic, almost abstract representation of the subject. The cow's white face emerges from a dramatic backdrop of black, red, and earthy green hues, with fluid and highly textured strokes emphasizing movement and depth. The composition is signed in the lower left corner and is housed in an elaborate, deep-set black and gold frame that enhances its visual impact. Simonini's work reflects a modern impressionistic approach, merging abstraction with recognizable subject matter, making this a compelling piece for collectors of contemporary animal portraiture.Artist: Ray Simonini (Chinese-American, b. 1981)Issued: c. 2010Dimensions: 15.25"L x 17.25"HCountry of Origin: China-United StatesCondition: Age related wear.

Fenwick Lansdowne for this work are among the highest achievements of ornithological art. The Fukien Slaty Bunting, depicted here, is represented by a male specimen, distinguishable by its dark slaty-blue plumage, seen in its natural snowy habitat.This elephant-folio-sized set of ornithological plates, a triumph in their artistry, follows in the tradition of the great illustrated natural history monographs of the past centuries, such as Audubon's masterpiece, The Birds of America. The artist, Frederick Lansdowne, was born in 1937 in Hong Kong to British parents and grew up in British Columbia, Canada. Stricken with polio as a baby, he developed both his love of birds and his talent as a painter from a young age, holding his first museum exhibition in 1952 at the Royal British Columbia Museum when he was just fourteen years old. As one of the world's foremost wildlife painters, often referred to as Audubon's successor, he is the artist who best maintained the tradition of bird painting and publishing into the late 20th century. Similar to Audubon, he would both study his subjects in the field and use museum collections of preserved specimens to paint his highly detailed and accurate watercolors. He died in Canada in 2008.The magnificent collotype plates include the following birds: Impeyan Monal Lophophorus impejanus; Temminck's Tragopan Tragopan temminckii; Satyr Tragopan Tragopan satyra; Swinhoe's Pheasant Lophura swinhoei; Elliot's Pheasant Syrmaticus ellioti; Mikado Pheasant Syrmaticus mikado; Blood Pheasant Ithaginis cruentus; Brown Eared Pheasant Crossoptilon mantchuricum; Himalayan Snowcock Tetraogallus himalayensis; Taiwan Magpie Urocissa caerulea; Chinese Parrotbill Paradoxornis heudei; Siberian Crane Grus leucogeranus; Rufous-necked Hornbill Aceros nipalensis; White Stork Iconia ciconia; Crested Ibis Nipponia nippon; White Eared Pheasant Crossoptilon crossoptilon; Japanese Crane Grus japonensis; Cabot's Tragopan Tragopan caboti; Mrs. Hume's Pheasant Syrmaticus humiae; Steller's Sea Eagle Haliarrtus pelagicus; Oriental Hobby Falco severus; Chinese Monal Lophophorus ihuysii; Omei Shan liocichla Liocichla omeiensis; Silver Oriole Oriolus mellianus; Blyth's Tragopan Tragopan blythii; Firethroat Erithacus pectardens; Scaly-sided Merganser Mergus squamatus; White-necked Crane Grus vipio; Fulien Slaty Bunting Latoucheornis siemsseni; Sclater's Monal Lophophorus sclateri; Black-necked Crane Grus nigricollis; Brown Wood Owl Strix leptogrammica.No condition report?
