A hand-coloured engraving by John James Audubon, 'Plate 92 Pigeon Hawk' features two pigeon hawks perched on a leafy branch, showcasing Audubon's meticulous detail and scientific accuracy.
John James Audubon (1785-1851) was an American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter, notable for his extensive studies documenting all types of American birds and for his detailed illustrations that depicted the birds in their natural habitats. His major work, *The Birds of America*, is a collection of 435 life-size prints. Audubon's meticulous approach combined scientific accuracy with artistic flair, setting a new standard for ornithological illustration. His work remains a significant contribution to both art and science, influencing generations of naturalists and artists. He is considered one of the foremost naturalists of the early 19th century. 'Plate 92 Pigeon Hawk' presents two pigeon hawks (also known as merlins) perched on a leafy branch. The hawk at the top, rendered in darker tones of brown and black, sits alertly on the branch. Below, the second hawk is in mid-flight, its wings spread to reveal a pattern of brown stripes. The leaves are depicted with careful attention to detail, with variations in colour and texture that add depth to the composition. The background is a soft, creamy colour, allowing the hawks and foliage to stand out.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
