Description
A red-billed magpie perches upright in deep blue and black plumage, its long tail feathers rendered with meticulous detail and subtle striping, while delicate pencil sketches of anatomical studies occupy the left side of the composition. The warm cream ground and precise ornithological rendering reflect the scientific illustration tradition of the 19th century, capturing both the bird's living presence and its structural form. At home in a study, natural history collection, or corner devoted to curiosity. Printed to order on heavyweight matte paper at a petite 3-by-4 or 4-by-4 inches, with an optional poplar wood stand so it can sit upright on a desk or shelf. Small enough to fill the gap in a gallery wall or start a new one. Your first original, priced to collect more than one.
