Description / Wall plate "Het Puttertje", 20 cm
A goldfinch sits on its food bowl. Goldfinches were popular as pets, because you could teach them to draw water from a bowl with a miniature bucket. Hence they are called goldfinch.
This is one of the few works by Fabritius. Fabritius was a Dutch painter of still lifes and cityscapes and was considered Rembrandt's most talented pupil. The painting can be seen in the Mauritshuis.
Fabritius painted the goldfinch with clearly visible brushstrokes. He marked the wing with thick yellow paint, which he marked with the back of his brush.
The plate is made of ceramic and has a diameter of 20 cm.
