Description

This vibrant hand-colored engraving depicts four Pileated Woodpeckers — North America's largest woodpecker species — perched on a rugged, lichen-covered branch intertwined with a wild grapevine heavy with dark clusters of fruit. The birds are rendered with extraordinary botanical and ornithological precision, showcasing their bold red crests, black-and-white plumage, and powerful ivory bills. Originally published in Audubon's landmark folio 'The Birds of America' (1827–1838), Plate 111, this plate is one of the most celebrated works in natural history illustration, combining scientific accuracy with dramatic artistic composition.
