Pair of Mallard Duck and Canvasback Duck Lithographs, After John James Audubon, 20th Century
This exquisite pair of 20th-century hand-colored lithographs features the Mallard Duck and Canvasback Duck, beautifully reproducing the celebrated ornithological illustrations of John James Audubon from The Birds of America. Created after the R. Havell 1836 edition, these prints showcase Audubon's iconic style, blending scientific precision with artistic mastery. Rendered in vibrant hand-colored detail, each lithograph captures the grace, movement, and lifelike realism that define Audubon’s legacy.
The Mallard Duck print presents a dynamic scene of a drake, hen, and feeding duck nestled among lush grasses and wildflowers. Their iridescent plumage and natural behaviors are meticulously illustrated, bringing the composition vividly to life. In contrast, the Canvasback Duck print offers a serene waterside setting, depicting three ducks in various postures—one feeding, another perched on a rock, and a third gliding across the water—highlighting the quiet elegance of this sought-after species.
Both lithographs bear the inscription "Drawn from Nature by J.J. Audubon, F.R.S. F.L.S.," affirming their connection to Audubon’s original field studies and dedication to wildlife documentation. The pieces are professionally framed in gold-tone frames with muted green matting, enhancing their vintage charm and complementing the artwork’s earthy tones.
