Description:
This painting is distinguished by its unusual combination of still life and animal subject. The thrush, depicted frontally on a simple feeding board beside a ginger jar, forms a quiet and carefully balanced composition characteristic of Jan Mankes. The painting has remained in the same family since its original acquisition and is now being offered on the market for the first time.
