Keulemans, Johannes Gerardus (1842-1912). Scops owl. Watercolor on paper. Initialed lower right: "JGK". 6 1/4" x 4 1/2" visible, 16" x 14" framed. Keulemans's original work is extremely rare, and only in his watercolors can one attain a full understanding of his mastery as an ornithological artist. A number of Keulemans' original watercolors are in the collection of the British Museum or other institutions, and few become available to private collectors. This magnificent watercolor represents an important and unusual opportunity to attain an original work by one of the foremost bird artists working in Victorian Britain.
