Note du spécialiste
While this charming sheet appears to have been drawn in the 18th or 19th century, it recalls natural history drawings by earlier artists such as Georg Flegel (1566-1638) and Joris Hoefnagel (1542-1601) (see F. Koreny, Albrecht Dürer und die Tier- und Pflanzenstudien der Renaissance, exhib. cat., Vienna, Albertina, 1985, nos. 91-93, ill.).
