Anastasia Kuznetsova-RufSparrow (VORaBEI), 2015 ·
(from the “Out of series” series)
Canvas, tempera, charcoal pencil · 70 × 80 cm · Russia

In this intriguing piece, a sparrow takes the place typically reserved for a noble hunting falcon, perched on the falconer's hand, safeguarded by a sturdy glove against formidable talons. The bird dons a leather ceremonial hood, a unique headpiece designed for hunting birds to obscure their vision. The question arises, "Is it a mere accessory for Senka, or could this gifted sparrow aspire to rival falcons?"
