Bird Paintings

I also saw these at the Chicago Art Institute. They are a series of Bird Paintings. The series is called Twelve paintings of "Foreign and Domestick"Birds. It was done by Samuel Dixon. In a very smart marketing move he dedicated each bird painting to a female member of the aristocracy. They probably sold very well. I should try it. LOL
