Parakeet
Painters of bird and dead game pieces, like Jan Weenix and his nephew Mechior d’Hondecoeter, had all kinds of tricks for studying birds. For instance, they drew from stuffed specimens, possibly the case for these two drawings of exotic birds. They also may have used a kind of gallows-like framework to keep dead birds in the desired position to show off their feathers to best advantage.
