Pair of 19th Century Birds of Paradise Wall Panels

Set of two large-format decorative panels hand-painted on a wooden or gessoed canvas base. The pieces feature a central composition of naturalistic inspiration with wading birds surrounded by floral vegetation, framed by a lush structure of rocaille, cartouches, and vegetal motifs in shades of ochre, sienna, and cobalt blue.

The style evokes the transition between late Rococo and Romantic Neoclassicism, with an aged patina that enhances the softness of the original pigments and the mastery of the artisanal brushwork.
