Includes certificate of authenticity
Entirely handmade piece

Portrait of a European goldfinch perched on a hazelnut branch, with the catkins hanging on both sides of the frame. The warm, enveloping ochre-gold background concentrates all the light on the bird’s plumage — red mask, white and black bib, brown back, yellow wing stripe — with the same precision as the artist’s other goldfinch series. The diagonal branch and the catkins on both sides provide a framing variation within that series.

The work is shipped unstretched, rolled and protected in a transport tube. Framed images are only for reference; the frame is not included in the sale.
