Labrador Falcon

Audubon: Die Vögel Amerikas II, 1834

This is a painting of two falcons perched on branches. The upper falcon is slightly hunched with dark plumage and an intense gaze, while the lower falcon has its wings partially spread and is vocalizing, with detailed plumage showing intricate patterns. Both falcons have sharp talons gripping the branches they are perched upon. The painting captures the form and details of these birds against a light background.
