1000 Falcon (51 x 72)
Spring
Lucas van Valkenborch
Production Date 1980s

I completed this old Falcon while on holiday in Antalya. For some reason, I find this to be a really interesting portrait, even though the perspective seems off somehow. It is of typical top-notch Falcon quality.

Artist info from Wikipedia:

Lucas van Valckenborch or Lucas van Valckenborch the Elder (c. 1535 in Leuven – 2 February 1597 in Frankfurt am Main) was a Flemish painter, mainly known for his landscapes. He also made contributions to portrait painting, and allegorical and market scenes. Court painter to Archduke Matthias, the governor of the Spanish Netherlands in Brussels, he later migrated to Austria and then Germany, where he joined members of his extended family of artists who had moved there for religious reasons.
