White Pelican

John James Audubon, an American ornithologist and painter, is renowned for his unique and meticulous studies documenting bird species in their natural habitats. His attention to detail is awe-inspiring.

Illustration from 'Birds of America', 1827-38, the "American White Pelican" showcases the majestic bird with its distinctive large beak and elegant plumage. Set against a charcoal background, Audobon adds a modest amount of landscape detail to hint at the magnificent bird's habitat. A decorative gold frame with textured highlights presents the canvas. A golden dark blue outer lip and sides complete the beautiful artwork.
