This hand-colored engraving of an American Redstart is from John James Audubon’s famous series "The Birds of America" (1827-1839). Audubon, a celebrated ornithologist and painter, captured the bird in meticulous detail, showcasing its vibrant red, black, and white plumage as it perches on a branch. The artwork exemplifies the naturalist’s approach to depicting birds in their natural habitats, presenting a scientific and aesthetic record of American avian life.
