A rufous-brown jay with distinctive blue-black wing markings perches on a delicate branch rendered in soft graphite, its head turned in profile with an alert, watchful expression. The composition uses warm earth tones against a pale cream ground, rendered in the precise ornithological style of early nineteenth-century natural history illustration. In a naturalist's study, a Victorian-inspired library, or alongside other classical bird specimens. Made to order by hand at our own Denver facility, it arrives as nine wood panels, each a half-inch thick with a keyhole on the back so it hangs easily. The natural grain shows through the artwork, so no two come out exactly alike.
