Winsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable Brushes

The Series 7 is a round watercolor and detail brush made from Kolinsky sable hair, handmade by Winsor & Newton since the nineteenth century. Queen Victoria commissioned the first Series 7 in 1866. Its fine point and spring make it the standard brush for detail work, miniature painting, and illustration.
