Eksotisk fugl
1829
unspecified
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This bird looks like it’s made of bright colors—green on its back, red on its chest, and a long blue tail that curves down. Its head is mostly green with a blue crest, and its beak is black with a red spot near the eye. The feathers are painted in smooth strokes, and the tail feathers have a slight sheen. The name written at the bottom, *"Eksotisk fugl,"* means "exotic bird" in Danish. That fits how wild and colorful it looks. If you like this style, check out the technique: watercolor to see how artists use it.
