The Gathering of the Birds
techniek: Pen and Ink on Paper, 19.5 x 28.4 cm
This drawing also evinces Bosch’s love of animals. With his eye for detail, he manages to recognizably depict many species of bird and, once again, he has included owls-they have almost become his trademark. However, this drawing is more than a simple study of bird morphology. The undulating, confident lines give the group of birds an energetic, almost restless air. In the background is a group of mammals that, like the birds, are preparing for battle. |  |
