Framed Natural History Botanical and Ornithological Print
A vertically oriented natural history print featuring a bird, likely a trogon or parrot species, perched on a branch with red berries alongside a butterfly. The print displays botanical accuracy typical of 18th or 19th-century scientific illustrations. The central artwork is on aged cream-colored paper with cursive script at the bottom, possibly indicating species names in Latin. The framing is complex and high-quality, featuring a large outer gold-gilt wood frame with beaded and coved detailing. The artwork is triple-matted: an inner red fillet, a secondary marbled paper border with scrolled patterns, and a large deep forest green outer mat. The piece is protected by glass. Notable for its vibrant colors in the bird's plumage, reflecting greens and reds. Condition shows light surface wear on the frame, a small pink price or inventory sticker in the upper right corner, and minor tonal aging to the paper consistent with a vintage or antique reproduction. No visible foxing or water damage is apparent on the print itself, and the tight corners of the frame suggest professional assembly.
