TWW Comment

This bird is native to South America, but the painting was likely painted in England or Holland. Carel Borchaert Voet worked for Hans Willem Bentinck, 1st Earl of Portland, Baron Bentinck of Diepenheim and Schoonheten. Bentinck kept a garden in Holland which was home to many exotic plants and insects, which the artist helped to record in the 'Codex Bentingiana'.
