Oil on canvas. The canvas can be traced back with certainty to the already considerable catalogue of the younger Crivelli, called for precisely Crivellino, to distinguish him from his father and teacher, Angelo Maria. Furthermore, it is the latter, active in Milan until around 1730, the invention of a series of subjects cable cars set in the open air for a long repeated in the workshop shared with the son, and therefore the development of a repertoire of patterns intended to be widely replicated. While riprendendoli according to his personal variation of style, John will build them up thanks to the direct contact with the workshop of Felice Boselli, in which you may have completed your training, as proposed by Ferdinando Arisi who several times occupied by the two artists and milanese of the report of the younger with the parmesan cheese Boselli; his findings are summarized in the monograph Crivellone and Crivellino (Piacenza, 2004) accompanied by a wide range of illustration, and from the general catalogue of both, to which we refer for against a specific. Strictly due to the repertoire of the Angel Mary is the subject of this painting, which manifests itself, however, as the work of John virtue in the colouring switched on and brush frayed, as well as a greater dynamism of its protagonists, marsh birds often recurrent, and in this case comparable with those present in the composition of the private collection "Heron, mallard, pheasant, mountain, and water birds" in Casalmaggiore, Gallery of Orlane published for the first time as a work of Crivellino by Alessandro Morandotti ("Natura Morta in Italia". A cura di Federico Zeri, Milan, 1989, I, p. 300, and fig. 354), and reproduced in colour by Ferdinando Arisi (2004, pp. 570-71, tav. 163). Further comparisons are, finally, to propose the composition as depicting "Ducks and other water birds" of the private collection in genova (Arisi 2004, p. 588, tav. 208).
