Birds of Different Feathers

During a lecture curator Albert Elen elaborates on his favourite drawing, which he acquired for the museum in 2004: an unusual group portrait in an interior, drawn by Aert Schouman in 1746. Depicted are a Rotterdam collector with his wife and mother, a maid, an exotic bird and various objects from his collection.
