A pocket square made from from 100% silk, which gives the colors exceptional vibrancy while adding depth and a subtle sheen to the pattern.

The print is based on Head of a Cockatoo, a work by Aert Schouman, a Dutch painter and illustrator active in the 18th century. The artist became renowned for his exceptionally detailed depictions of birds and exotic animals, created both for scientific collections and decorative purposes. This composition, from the collection of the Rijksmuseum, perfectly showcases his precision in capturing the texture of feathers and the character of the species he portrayed.
