Description from the seller
Characterful oil painting on panel "Cockatoo on a Blooming Branch" – Tiny Zuidhof (1939)
A atmospheric and detailed oil painting on panel by Dutch artist Tiny Zuidhof. The work shows a beautiful yellow-crested cockatoo, perched on a branch amidst white blossoms (possibly horse-chestnut).
This work is an intriguing time document from the late 1930s. A striking detail is the chain on the bird's leg, a reference to the then-common tradition of keeping exotic birds as pets. The soft color palette and the realistic rendering of the feathers make it a very decorative piece.
Artist: Tiny Zuidhof (signed bottom left)
Dating: 23 October 1939 (23-10-39)
Technique: Oil on panel
Subject: Exotic bird / Cockatoo / Ornithology

A unique item for collectors of bird art or enthusiasts of Dutch figurative work from the interwar period. The painting has a strong presence and fits both a classic and a modern eclectic interior.
Seller's Story
If something moves me, I buy it. It’s that simple, really. Since 2008 I scour here and abroad, always looking for that one object with a soul. Whether it’s an ancient antique piece or modern design: if it radiates craftsmanship and character, I’m hooked. I enjoy giving these finds a new home. Take a look around, and I hope my passion for quality touches you as well.
