Add an element of art and scientific mystery of America to your interior with this magnificent print of the Small-Headed Flycatcher by the famous naturalist and artist John James Audubon. Being a reproduction of one of the plates from Audubon's Birds of America, the artwork is notable for such features as intricate linework, dynamic composition, and rich colors.Plate 434 is particularly interesting because of its mysteries. In fact, the "Small-Headed Flycatcher" is referred to as a "mystery bird"—it is the one described by both Audubon and his competing ornithologist Alexander Wilson; however, the exact identification of the species remains uncompleted to this day. The current print shows the fascinating detail of the mysterious songbird, depicted in all elegance among its forest peers on a botanical branch.
