Specialist note

These sheets, drawn at the end of the artist's life, are typical of his late period and can be compared to a group of ten similarly executed and signed and dated drawings sold in these Rooms, 7 July 2015, lot 48. Bronckhorst took great care to identify and depict the precise habitat of each bird.
