EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Lesser Tern, also known as Little Tern. The stunning bird, scientifically named Sterna Albifrons, is captured in all its glory by the legendary artist John James Audubon. The image portrays this graceful seabird soaring through the open sky with effortless elegance. Its wings spread wide, catching the gentle breeze as it glides above the vast expanse of ocean below. The vibrant hand-coloring adds depth and richness to every intricate detail of its feathers. Audubon's meticulous aquatint and engraving techniques bring this avian marvel to life on paper. With masterful skill, he captures not only the adult Lesser Tern but also a junior companion flying alongside it—a testament to their strong familial bonds. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into a world where birds rule the skies and nature's wonders unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder of both the fragility and resilience of these magnificent creatures that call our planet home. This remarkable piece from "The Birds of America" collection now resides in a private collection but continues to inspire awe and admiration for Audubon's unparalleled talent and dedication to capturing nature's splendor.
