Sea-Side Finch

by John James Audubon

Adorn your home with the rugged beauty of the Atlantic shorelines with this wonderful reproduction of John James Audubon’s Sea-Side Finch (now scientifically named as the Seaside Sparrow). It was originally issued as plate 93 in his world-famous work in 1827 called The Birds of America. This rare print art depicts a pair of Sea-Side Finches resting in harmony amid the flowering petals and spiny stems of the Rosa carolina flower.

With his remarkable observational skills, Audubon has skillfully combined scientific exactness and artistic beauty. The subtle tones of the earth colors, namely the olivaceous and brownish-grey coloration of the finches, create an amazing contrast with the bright pink and verdant greens of the local plants. Ideal for coastal dwellings, traditional libraries, or contemporary galleries, this artwork is a true masterpiece of American ornithological science.
