The painting shows a number of bird s, both common and exotic, gathered around a pool. Hondecoeter was known for his bird studies and in particular for the realistic portrayal of the subjects. Although he experimented with different styles early in his career, after 1660 he favoured compositions similar to that seen in The Floating Feather carefully observed subjects set in farmyards, courtyards or country parks with architectural or landscape features enhancing the backgrounds. His paintings were admired by the regents and merchants of Amsterdam , and by William III, who had works at three of his palaces.

A sprung floor is a special type of floating floor designed to enhance sports or dance performance. In general though the term refers to a floor used to reduce noise or vibration . A domestic floating floor might be constructed over a subfloor or even over an existing floor.

Unreferenced date October 2006 Other uses of figure Figure disambiguation A floating block in writing and publishing is any graphic, text, table, or other representation that is unaligned from the main flow of text. Use of floating blocks to present pictures and table information table s is a typical feature of academic writing and technical writing , including scientific and articles and books. Floating blocks are normally labeled with a caption or title that describes its contents and a number that is used to refer to the figure from the main text. A common system divides floating block into two separately numbered series, labeled figure for pictures, diagrams, Plot graphics plots , etc. and table . Floating blocks are said to be floating because they are not fixed in position on the page at the place, but rather drift to the side of the page. An alternative name for figure is image or graphic . By placing pictures or other large items on the sides of pages rather than embedding them in the middle of the main flow of text, typesetting is more flexible and interruption to the flow of the narrative is avoided. For example, an article on geography might have Figure 1 Map of the world , Figure 2 Map of Europe , Table 1 Population of continents , Table 2 Population of European countries , and so on. Some books will have a table of figures in addition to the table of contents that lists centrally all the figures appearing in the work. Other kinds of floating blocks may be differentiated as well, for example Sidebar For digressions from the main narrative. For example, a technical manual on usage of a product might include examples of how various people have employed the product in their work in sidebars. Also called an intermezzo .
