Dimensions: Height: 8.82 in. (22.4 cm) Width: 6.3 in. (16 cm) Fine hand colour. Uccelliera is a discourse on the characteristics of the many birds to be found in Italy, and gives instructions on their care, and identifies their habits and songs. Antonio Tempesta, also called il Tempestino (1555 – 5 August 1630), was an Italian painter and engraver, whose art acted as a point of connection between Baroque Rome and the culture of Antwerp.

Villamena produced primarily works of religious and historical subjects. He died in Rome in 1640. Wear consistent with age and use. Light age mark to upper leaf. Colour show through to verso of leaf.
