EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Eagle and the Magpie" a remarkable artwork by Jean-Baptiste Oudry, a renowned French artist from the 18th century. Created in 1733, this masterpiece is executed with brush and black ink, enhanced with gray wash and white gouache on blue paper. The dimensions of this piece measure 30.6 x 25.6 cm (12 1/16 x 10 1/16 in. ), allowing viewers to appreciate the intricate details. In this composition, Oudry skillfully captures the contrasting nature of two birds: an eagle and a magpie. The majestic eagle stands tall with its wings spread wide, exuding power and dominance over its surroundings. On the other hand, perched nearby is a cunning magpie, known for its mischievous nature and striking black-and-white plumage. Oudry's attention to detail is evident in his precise brushwork that brings these avian creatures to life on the page. The use of gray wash adds depth and texture while white gouache highlights certain areas to create dimensionality. "The Eagle and the Magpie" serves as a testament to Oudry's mastery of capturing both physical characteristics and personality traits within his subjects. This print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to admire Oudry's talent firsthand without compromising any commercial interests or intentions associated with it.
