Description
Two king penguins stand alert on a sandy shore beneath a warm, golden sky rendered in soft gradations of yellow and cream. The figure on the left displays deep charcoal plumage, while its companion on the right bears creamy white underparts, both rendered with meticulous detail and naturalistic proportion in this 19th-century illustration. At home in a naturalist's study or a collector's gallery of vintage natural history 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.
