Audubon / Havell / 1836 / Black or Surf Duck. Fuligula Perspicillata, Male Adult 1, Female 2. (Oversized 9, 98533) Original hand-colored aquatint and engraving on a double-elephant folio sheet of wove paper, watermarked (JWHATMAN 1837). Laid on old linen, carefully stitched at the top and bottom. This original double-elephant folio aquatint by John James Audubon presents a vivid portrayal of two Surf Scoters against the backdrop of their coastal environment. The adult male, on the left, is captured in a moment of animation; his stance on a rock is commanding, with his dark plumage stark against the pale sky. His distinctive white eye patch and the strikingly colored bill, unique to the male of the species, are depicted with precise detail, and his open beak suggests a call into the surrounding stillness. Nearby, the female Surf Scoter embodies repose as she sits on the beach. Her brownish, mottled plumage blends more subtly with the natural tones of the sandy shore, reflecting the typical coloration of females, which provides camouflage. Her calm demeanor is offset by a gaze that conveys a sense of watchfulness. Between them, two clamshells lie on the ground, as if just discarded by the tide, symbolizing the ducks' foraging habits and the richness of the marine life that sustains them. The scene is tranquil, with the serene sea and distant cliffs painting a picture of the quiet life these birds lead, interspersed with moments of activity and interaction. Audubon's work combines scientific accuracy with an artistic eye, bringing to life the essence of the Surf Scoters in their natural habitat. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 98533
