This painting of a hawfinch is one of the mass-produced pictures aimed at European visitors. Foreign flora and fauna were of great interest to British botanists in the 18th and 19th centuries, and such enthusiasm gradually filtered down to the general public. Travellers often returned to Britain with paintings depicting numerous species of exotic birds.
