A Wounded Heron
Adopted by Alastair Gray OBE & Lyn Gray
Throughout his career Watts used a number of his paintings to criticise the needless killing of birds for sport and fashion. In this dramatic early work, a heron has been brought down by a falcon.
Painted when the artist was just 20 years old, this was one of Watts’s first works to be exhibited at the Royal Academy annual exhibition.
