Emerald Pageant, Three Peacocks

Butterflies, Birds & Wildlife · horizontal

A male peacock stands at the center with his tail spread into a huge fan covered in blue-and-green eyespots. In the foreground, a second peacock walks left across a straw-covered ground, its long green train trailing behind. A third peacock perches high at the upper right among branches and a chain-link fence. The colors are intensely saturated, and the feathers and straw have a swirling, finely brushed texture.

A collector wants this piece for the sheer spectacle of the fully opened fan. Its blue-and-green eyespots glow against dark foliage in an almost lit-from-within way. A second peacock walking through the foreground, trailing its green train, and a third perched high at the upper right turn it from a single portrait into a small scene with a diagonal sweep and a quiet vertical counterpoint. Plenty of peacock images exist, but few combine a huge radiating fan, three birds, and a swirling brushed feather texture in such saturated emerald and peacock blue. Pure visual attraction is reason enough to choose it.
