Four Different Birds on a Branch
Unknown artist
According to the artist’s notes on the back of this drawing, these birds are from Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) in South Asia. Schouman most likely made this watercolour on the basis of various stuffed and mounted specimens. This is clear to see from the birds’ stiff poses.
