David Klöcker von Ehrenstrahl (1629‑1698). His studio, late 17th century. Morian with parrots and ground cats. Oil on canvas, 85 x 105 cm.
Compare the composition in the National Museum"s collection, NM 1407 with fewer birds and other dimensions, 144 x 120 cm, and with the painting in Grönsöö Castle"s collection, which is described as a studio work with added parrots.
Axel Sjöblom, "David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl", from 1947 comments on the motif: "In the accounts it is referred to as a "Schillereij" with a mother, a monkey, a marcat and three parrots. Most likely, these animals and birds were residents of the zoo, which was arranged on an old redoubt in the 1697 burnt down castle Tre Kronor in the southwest corner towards the Great Church. It was "the garden where King May have his way". Here there were animals of all kinds, but mostly Swedish. A ground cat, called Cikorn, is mentioned as a rarity. Here, Klöker was able to pick up the models for the many quadrupeds and flying fans, which he "counterfeit after living models".
