EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite red-legged partridge print is a beautiful example of the naturalistic artistry of Samuel Dixon (fl.1748-1769). The English artist is known for his detailed and meticulously rendered bodycolor drawings of birds, which were popular during the 18th century. This particular work features the Red-legged Partridge from Barbary, a species of partridge native to North Africa. The partridge is depicted in its full regalia, with its vibrant red legs contrasting sharply against its reddish-brown body and intricately patterned plumage. Its piercing eyes seem to gaze intently at the viewer, while its beak is slightly open as if in the midst of a call or warning. The background is kept simple, with a subtle embossed texture adding depth and texture to the image. The use of bodycolor, a technique involving the application of opaque watercolor paints, allows for a rich and vibrant rendering of the partridge's feathers and other details. The paper, too, is of high quality, adding to the overall elegance and refinement of the print. Samuel Dixon's work was highly regarded during his time, and this Red-legged Partridge from Barbary is a testament to his skill and artistry. The print would make a stunning addition to any collection of natural history or ornithological art, and serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
