EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print captures the beauty of a Smew or White Nun, meticulously created by the talented artist Robert Havell in 1836. The image showcases an American bird species, reflecting both the natural wonders of the United States and Havell's passion for ornithology. Havell's artistry is evident in this hand-colored engraving and aquatint on Whatman wove paper. The delicate strokes bring out every intricate detail of the duck's plumage, while the vibrant colors add life to its graceful form. Through his mastery of etching techniques, Havell manages to convey a sense of movement as if capturing a fleeting moment in time. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, this artwork stands as a testament to Havell's contribution to American art during the 19th century. His collaboration with renowned naturalist John James Audubon further solidifies his place in history as one of America's foremost wildlife illustrators. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported into nature's realm - where waterfowl gracefully navigate their watery habitats. It serves as a reminder that our country is not only rich in landscapes but also teeming with diverse fauna waiting to be discovered and appreciated. The Smew or White Nun print by Robert Havell Jr. , part of Heritage Art collection, invites us to marvel at nature’s wonders through art – an enduring connection between humanity and our environment that transcends time and borders.
