The Agapornis pullarius also known as the Red-faced Lovebird, a member of the genus Agapornis, a group commonly known as lovebirds is another precious exotic bird that still life painters as Peter Binoit during that era chose to immortalise. http://www.papageien.org/df/historisches/df_stilleben1.html

Nice paintings. Old paintings and painters are awesome. I have seen many old time paintings and all of them are awesome. I should say there were best. With limited facilities they made awesome paintings.

I finally made it to NY to see this exhibition this week– an extraordinary show. Amazing to think that the Museum bought dozens of Sargent watercolors for $20,000.

Thanks for flagging this!
