This is a late 19th century, Victorian era oval form tableau of wild game birds, preserved and taxidermied, under convex glass hand painted natural setting background and 3-dimensions elements and a maroon velvet and bas-relief oak leaf decorated wooden frame. The Victorian tableau wall art piece was created by multi-hyphenate field science talent, painter, writer and taxidermist, Charles Keller Reed (1851-1921) of Massachusetts. The estimate is based on actual past auction sales of comparables.
