This is an exceptional vintage print of the renowned John James Audubon engraving with aquatint and hand-coloring, featuring the "Red-Breasted Merganser". This particular piece is from the distinguished 1838 Havell edition, celebrated as part of Audubon's monumental "Birds of America" series.
The printmaking technique of aquatint engraving with meticulous original hand-coloring lends the image depth, texture, and a rich, saturated palette. The dynamic composition, a hallmark of Audubon's work, captures the subject with a rare vitality and scientific precision, depicting the bird in its natural habitat.
Presented in a sophisticated dark wood frame enclosed in glass, the piece exudes classic elegance and is an ideal acquisition for collectors of fine natural history art or as a statement piece in a well-appointed interior.
