Description
A magnificent peacock stands in profile on a naturalistic ground, its distinctive head held high while its elaborately patterned tail sweeps dramatically across the composition in shades of deep teal, bronze, gold, and cream. The hand-colored engraving technique renders each feather and eye-spot with meticulous detail against a warm, aged paper ground that evokes the classical natural history illustrations of the early nineteenth century. At home in a naturalist's study, a gallery wall, or a space celebrating ornithological art. 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.
