Still Life with Fruit & Blue-Backed Manakin, c.1705?, by #JohannaHelenaHerolt (#JohannaHerolt; German, 1668-1723), who was born #otd, Jan 5. Held at the Royal Collection Trust, www.rct.uk/collection/9... #womenartists #artherstory #NationalBirdDay
According to the website description: "A watercolor of Cherries, Pear, Fig, Peaches and Plums in a bowl with a Blue-Backed Manakin (Charoxiphia pareola), ants and a fly. This watercolor combines the late seventeenth-century tradition of still-life painting with interest in exotic species of the artist's mother, Maria Sibylla Merian. The blue and white china bowl is typical of a Dutch still life of this period while the Blue-Backed Manakin is a native of Suriname (this bird is probably a specimen which had been brought back to Amsterdam where there was a lively market in exotic species)."
