Circle of Melchior de Hondecoeter
(Utrecht 1636–1695 Amsterdam)
A pelican and other birds by the water,
oil on canvas, 105 x 130 cm, framed
Provenance:
Private Collection, Austria
The present painting closely relies on the paintings of birds by Melchior de Hondecoeter, whose decorative compositions were so successful that contemporaries like Jan Weenix (1640–1719) imitated his style. Adriaen de Coorte (circa 1665 – after 1707), a painter of still lifes, is also known to have copied paintings by Hondecoeter, with whom he probably also collaborated for a while.
