Fabritius painted it in the same year he died in the Delft gunpowder explosion that destroyed much of his studio and most of his work. The bird sits tethered to a tin perch by a fine chain at its ankle, looking back at the viewer. Chorley's version restages the subject on canvas, in her own painterly hand, with the lightness she brings to her studio fruit and animal studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil on canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePicture size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21.5 × 15.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFramed size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 × 23.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFramed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — sold framed in a wooden frame with gilded inner lip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e European goldfinch — after Fabritius.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference work:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carel Fabritius, \u003cem\u003eThe Goldfinch\u003c\/em\u003e, 1654, Mauritshuis, The Hague (inv. no. 605).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e GS-149\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCollection from the gallery (17 Princess Road, London NW1 8JR).
