Scarlet Ibis with an Egg by Maria Sibylla Merian, 17th-century bird illustration (1699–1700), available as a 24" × 36" unframed fine art giclée print.
Striking natural history illustration of a Scarlet Ibis (Eudocimus ruber) with an egg, created between 1699–1700 by Maria Sibylla Merian. Renowned for her groundbreaking contributions to natural history illustration, Merian combined scientific observation with refined artistic sensitivity, elevating the genre in the late 17th century.
This composition emphasizes the ibis’s vivid red plumage and elegant curvature, presented against a restrained background that allows the subject to command attention. The inclusion of the egg reflects Merian’s deep interest in life cycles and natural behavior, a hallmark of her work.
Originally executed as a hand-colored watercolor natural history illustration.
The artwork has been digitally remastered from a historical source, preserving the luminous color, delicate brushwork, and period character of the original painting. Minor tonal variation or subtle texture from the antique source may remain and is considered part of the artwork’s authentic historical quality.
Printed using archival pigment inks on museum-quality matte fine art paper for long-term color stability and reduced glare.
