Pine Linnet

by John James Audubon

Bring the amazing level of detail seen in classical American ornithology directly into your home in this incredible reproduction of Audubon’s Pine Linnet (Plate 180). Taken from Audubon’s classic work The Birds of America, this painting features a male and female finch flying amongst the delicate cones of the branch of a Black Larch (Larix pendula).

What makes Audubon so unique is his portrayal of action and life; look at how the upper bird bends down, and note the perfectly depicted streaking and yellow wings on it. This is not simply a naturalist’s depiction of nature; it is an amazing combination of art and science that has lasted throughout the ages.
