Anon. Blue-headed Fantail Bird & Crane Fly

An original early 19th-century watercolour painting Blue-headed Fantail Bird & Crane Fly.

A watercolour of exceptional quality and precision. The bird and crane fly are so finely detailed and well modelled that they look like they could alight from the page.
