Turkey, Geese, Shelduck, and other Fowl, in a Landscape with a Stream

Melchior de Hondecoeter (Utrecht 1636 – Amsterdam 1695). Oil painting on canvas, Turkey, Geese, Shelduck, and other Fowl, in a Landscape with a Stream, by Melchior de Hondecoeter (Utrecht 1636 – Amsterdam 1695). One goose stands on the bank of a stream, while another sleeps behind it and a third is in the water below with goslings. Other ducks are on the bank in the foreground, and a shelduck can be seen in the middle ground. A turkey peers in from the left, and another bird flies down from the top right. A large expanse of water stretches away in the left background. Dyrham, Gloucestershire (Accredited Museum)
