To the human eye, the kingfisher with its colorful plumage is a lovely sight. For small fish, which it catches in a dive, it is a dangerous predator. This small watercolor from the Niederöst Collection reflects both views: Its beauty in form and color are clearly shown, as is the attentive eagerness of a skilled hunter.
