EDITORS COMMENTS

This historical piece is part of the collection "Moral Emblems with Aphorisms, Adages, and Proverbs of All Ages and Nations" by Jacob Cats and Robert Farlie. The image depicts a variety of birds perched on branches, each singing their own unique song. The artist beautifully captures the essence of diversity in nature, emphasizing that every creature has its own individuality. The adage portrayed here reminds us that just as birds sing according to their beaks, we too should embrace our own strengths and talents. Leighton's intricate details bring life to each bird, showcasing the beauty found within wildlife animals.
