Studt After Carel Fabritius : The Goldfinch

Comments

I went to see this painting some years ago, it is remarkable. But I couldn’t help feeling sad about the little chain around its leg. A lovely study Steve.

Great copy Steve.

Cheers Marjorie, no chain I'm afraid. I want to do a more worked up study of this as it's one of my favourite paintings.

How very sad to read what Marjorie has but a lovely painting Steve and am glad the chain isn't there!

Re the chain, it was a different time and customs were certainly different.When I was little we had a budgie in a small cage…..

You have painted a lovely copy here Steve. Looked the artist up and was amazed at how old the original painting is and yet it is still so magnetic.

A lovely study, Steve. Love your subtle brushwork.
