EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Harlequin Duck, captured in 1836 by the talented artist Robert Havell. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this hand-colored engraving and aquatint on Whatman wove paper bring this magnificent bird to life. The Harlequin Duck, scientifically known as Cosmonetta histrionica, is a true marvel of nature. Its striking plumage features a kaleidoscope of colors, with bold patches of blue, white, black, and chestnut creating an enchanting pattern that is truly mesmerizing. This artwork perfectly captures the essence and allure of this unique waterfowl species. Robert Havell's artistic prowess shines through in every brushstroke and etching line. His attention to detail allows us to appreciate the delicate feathers that adorn the Harlequin Duck's body while also capturing its lively expression and graceful posture. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this print serves as a testament to both Audubon John James' passion for ornithology and Robert Havell's exceptional talent as an artist. It transports viewers back to 19th-century America when these remarkable creatures roamed freely across our country's landscapes. As we gaze upon this masterpiece today, we are reminded not only of the incredible diversity found within our natural world but also of humanity's enduring fascination with capturing its beauty through art.
