Description

A majestic dark-plumaged eagle perches on a rocky outcrop, rendered in rich brown and black tones with subtly detailed feathering across its wings, its powerful hooked beak and sharp talons commanding attention. This plate, titled 'Bird of Washington' by John James Audubon, appeared in his landmark publication 'The Birds of America' (1827–1838), one of the most celebrated ornithological works ever produced, depicting what Audubon believed to be a distinct American eagle species. The creamy off-white background and meticulous naturalist draftsmanship reflect Audubon's signature style, making this an iconic piece of American natural history art.
