One of four paintings, this group of paintings are a leisurely reflection on the birds of Fayoum. With their numerous kinds and behaviours, you can observe them for hours on the lake’s shores. Each painting is a life sketch of the poses and movements of the birds and the surrounding atmosphere. Maintaining a sketching quality, paints are employed to express the scene without overpowering, soft colours contrasting with bold brush marks and the sketching qualities maintained for a whimsical and fleeting impression as that which birds tend to leave.
