EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty of an Eider Duck, meticulously created by the talented artist Robert Havell in 1835. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this American waterfowl to life, showcasing Havell's mastery of aquatint and engraving techniques. The Common Eider, known scientifically as Somateria mollissima, is elegantly portrayed in its natural habitat through this hand-colored engraving on Whatman wove paper. The careful attention to detail allows us to appreciate every feather and curve of its graceful form. Robert Havell II, also known as Robert Havell the Younger, was a renowned artist during the 19th century who specialized in ornithology illustrations. His collaboration with John James Audubon resulted in some of the most iconic bird prints ever produced. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this artwork stands as a testament to both Havell's artistic skill and his contribution to American art history. The delicate balance between scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal makes this piece a true treasure for art enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. As we admire this exquisite print by Robert Havell Jr. , let us be reminded of our country's rich heritage in both art and wildlife preservation. This image serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these beautiful creatures continue to inspire awe and appreciation for the natural world around us.
