Magnificent drawings by the famous bird painter abbé Antoine Soudry (ca. 1750-1800), showing a falcon, a royal eagle and a gyrfalcon. Like most bird drawings by Soudry, these are unsigned. They have the finesse, style and calligraphic handwriting of other attributed drawings by the French draughtsman.
