Audubon's illustration captures the bird in meticulous detail, highlighting its distinctive black and white plumage, compact size, and the characteristic patterns that differentiate it from similar species.

John James Audubon, an American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter, is renowned for his studies and detailed illustrations of birds in their natural habitats. His approach combined scientific accuracy with artistic elegance, making "The Birds of America" one of the most comprehensive and celebrated ornithological works in history. The collection contains 435 hand-colored, life-size prints of 497 bird species, made from engraved plates, and stands as a monumental achievement in both art and natural history.

The "Downy Woodpecker (Plate CXII)" not only serves as an important document for ornithological study but also exemplifies Audubon's skill in rendering the vitality and beauty of birds. His work has had a lasting impact on ornithology, art, and the conservation movement, inspiring generations of bird enthusiasts, artists, and scientists. The plate, like others in the collection, was based on Audubon's extensive field observations and drawings. He often portrayed the birds in dynamic poses and in their natural settings, which was a departure from the more static representations common in earlier ornithological illustrations.

Today, "The Birds of America" is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with complete sets and individual plates held by major institutions, libraries, and private collectors around the world. The "Downy Woodpecker (Plate CXII)" remains a testament to Audubon's legacy, showcasing his unparalleled ability to blend scientific precision with artistic flair.
