Portrait of a European goldfinch perched on a flowering thistle, its natural food and one of the most classic pairings in bird painting. The background, in soft greens and blues, is brighter and fresher than the rest of the artist's series, and allows the plumage — red mask, white and black face, yellow band on the wing — to stand out clearly. The long tail, extended diagonally, balances the composition.

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