Black Stork in a Landscape ca. 1780
The distinctive white neck feathers, purple-streaked wings, and red-tinged beak identify this tall bird as a woolly-necked stork (Ciconia episcopus), a native species of India known for its unusual plumage and height. The meandering watercourse on the right side of the composition could be a reference to the riverine areas in which such birds are typically found. A digit from the birds right foot rests upon its left, illustrating the artists close study of the standing position of these creatures. This work, like the image of the nightjar (2004.175)nearby, has been attributed to a set of 658 ornithological paintings commissioned by the French serviceman Claude Martin

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Black Stork in a picturesque landscape, believed to be from around 1780. The distinct features of this magnificent bird are beautifully captured - its white neck feathers, purple-streaked wings, and red-tinged beak make it easily identifiable as the rare woolly-necked stork (Ciconia episcopus), native to India. Renowned for its unique plumage and towering height, this species is truly a sight to behold. The composition of the photograph includes a meandering watercourse on the right side, possibly symbolizing the natural riverine habitats where these birds are commonly found. A remarkable detail worth noting is that one digit from the stork's right foot gently rests upon its left foot, revealing the artist's meticulous study of their standing position. Interestingly, this particular artwork has been attributed to an extensive collection of 658 ornithological paintings commissioned by Claude Martin, a French serviceman. It stands alongside another masterpiece depicting a nightjar nearby. With its rich colors and intricate details, this print captures not only the beauty but also highlights the importance of preserving such extraordinary creatures in their natural habitat. This work serves as both an artistic tribute and an educational tool for admirers of nature's wonders.
