Footnotes
The present trompe l'oeil can be compared to a signed work by Joncherie offered at Etude Couton Veyrac Jamault, Nantes, 27 September 2016, lot 40, which repeats the motif of the kingfisher and the half turned goldfinch, although in the Nantes picture the birds have had their perches swapped, so the kingfisher is on the turned perch and the finch is on the simpler one.
