Painting Description
"Douglass Squirrel, No. 10, Plate 48" is a notable illustration by the renowned American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter John James Audubon. This work is part of Audubon's ambitious project, "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America," which aimed to document and illustrate the diverse mammalian fauna of the continent. Published between 1845 and 1848, this collection was a collaborative effort between Audubon, his son John Woodhouse Audubon, and the Reverend John Bachman, who provided scientific descriptions.
The illustration of the Douglass Squirrel, also known as the Douglas Squirrel or Tamiasciurus douglasii, showcases Audubon's meticulous attention to detail and his dedication to capturing the essence of North American wildlife. The Douglass Squirrel is a small, tree-dwelling rodent native to the Pacific Northwest, known for its vibrant reddish-brown fur and bushy tail. Audubon's depiction of this species is both scientifically accurate and artistically compelling, reflecting his dual commitment to art and natural history.
In "Douglass Squirrel, No. 10, Plate 48," Audubon presents the squirrel in a dynamic pose, highlighting its agility and natural habitat. The background features elements of the squirrel's environment, such as coniferous trees and foliage, which provide context and enhance the realism of the scene. This plate, like others in the series, was produced using the technique of hand-colored lithography, a process that allowed for the rich, vivid colors and fine details that characterize Audubon's work.
Audubon's "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America" was a significant contribution to the field of natural history and remains a valuable resource for scientists, historians, and art enthusiasts alike. The project not only expanded the understanding of North American mammals but also cemented Audubon's legacy as one of the foremost naturalists and wildlife artists of the 19th century. "Douglass Squirrel, No. 10, Plate 48" exemplifies the blend of scientific inquiry and artistic mastery that defines Audubon's oeuvre.
