Bogdani settled in England in 1688, where, according to George Vertue, he was ‘much encouraged’ by Queen Anne as well as working for William III. This is one of a pair of bird scenes which were probably painted for William III or Queen Anne and first recorded on the ‘Painted Staircase’ at Kensington Palace during the reign of George I.
