Poster of the Shining Ibis, after an 1827 engraving by the artist and naturalist Jean-Jacques Audubon. Dimensions: 21 X 29 cm. Frame not included. High-quality, heavyweight paper, 250 gsm. Shipped securely in a rigid package. This poster depicts the Shining Ibis with remarkable finesse, recognizable by its long, curved beak and its metallic green and purple sheen. Perched on the bank of a marsh, the bird appears about to dip its beak into the still water, surrounded by lush vegetation and delicate flowers. The atmosphere evokes the wetlands of the Southern United States, where the species likes to feed. For refined décor, this scene harmonizes beautifully with Louis XV style pieces such as a curved sideboard, an upholstered bench, a gilt candlestick, or carved woodwork, creating an elegant contrast between wild nature and period refinement.
