Adult Alarmed Breeding Maurus Saxicola Siberian Stonechat
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite sketch of an adult female Siberian Stonechat (Saxicola maurus) in a state of alarm, captured by the skilled hand of Georg Dionysius Ehret in June of an unspecified year, offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of the past. The scene unfolds in a dry, grassy environment, typical of the Stonechat's breeding habitat in Asia and Eastern Europe. Ehret, a renowned German botanical artist, was a prolific contributor to the scientific community during the 18th century. His meticulous drawings and sketches graced numerous publications, including the esteemed "Newfoundland Volume" held in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. The Siberian Stonechat, also known as the Asian Stonechat, is a small, agile bird with distinctive black and orange plumage. The female, as depicted in this sketch, displays a striking contrast of colors, with her orange underparts and black wings and tail. Her alert posture and slightly raised wings suggest that she is on the lookout for potential threats, making for a captivating and dynamic composition. As we admire the intricate details and vibrant colors of this historical artwork, we are transported back in time, offering us a unique perspective on the natural world and the artist's keen observation skills. This precious piece of art serves as a testament to Ehret's remarkable talent and the importance of documenting the natural world for future generations.
