Hands of the Artist's Wife with Bird , n.d.
34.5 x 29.3 cm (h x w)
Oil on board

© Max Heimann

Heimann painted portraits, street scenes and many still-lifes often with a sense of heightened realism. Here, the little bird pulling the string taught, seems to be in control, while the much stronger human hand loosely grips the other end. Somehow, human and bird both look comfortable in this scenario.
