Painting Description
"Fresh-water Marsh Hen; Least Bittern; And Razor-billed Auk (plate Cciii, Ccx And Cciv)" is a notable work by the renowned American ornithologist and painter John James Audubon. This piece is part of Audubon's magnum opus, "The Birds of America," a monumental series of illustrations documenting the avian species of North America. Published between 1827 and 1838, "The Birds of America" is celebrated for its life-sized depictions and intricate detail, capturing the essence and diversity of bird life in the early 19th century.
The specific plates, Cciii (203), Ccx (210), and Cciv (204), feature the Fresh-water Marsh Hen, the Least Bittern, and the Razor-billed Auk, respectively. Each illustration is a testament to Audubon's meticulous observation skills and artistic prowess. The Fresh-water Marsh Hen, also known as the King Rail (Rallus elegans), is depicted in its natural habitat, showcasing its distinctive plumage and behavior. The Least Bittern (Ixobrychus exilis), one of the smallest herons in the world, is illustrated with remarkable accuracy, highlighting its elusive nature and adaptive camouflage. The Razor-billed Auk (Alca torda), a seabird of the North Atlantic, is portrayed with its characteristic black and white plumage and robust bill, emphasizing its unique adaptations to marine life.
Audubon's work not only serves as an artistic achievement but also as an important scientific record. His illustrations were based on extensive field observations and specimen collections, providing valuable insights into the anatomy, behavior, and habitats of these birds. The plates are accompanied by detailed descriptions, offering further context and information about each species.
"Fresh-water Marsh Hen; Least Bittern; And Razor-billed Auk" exemplifies Audubon's dedication to the study and appreciation of bird life.
