Large Regency print of a family with birds

£195.00

A very unusual and decorative late Regency print of a family feeding birds in an aviary. The print has been laid onto a canvas and varnished. The varnish has discoloured over time to a pleasing deep sepia colour with a great patina. The subject matter is most unusual with the family all in profile standing behind the birdcage as the viewer looks through. The whole has an almost surrealist look about it and is both naive and almost folk art looking. I have never seen this particular subject done in this way before. The work is in overall good condition but there has been the odd minor blemishes and tears, this might be why it was at some point been laid down on a canvas to strengthen it. The work is mounted in a Victorian period frame and I would think it has been in this frame from that time. The frame is very good quality and in good condition. The whole is the most unusual image with a great, unique, quirky, decorative appeal. C.1830.
