Framed Ornithological Print by Sir Peter Scott – Study of Swans (c. 1950s)
$55.00
A vintage framed colour ornithological illustration by celebrated British wildlife artist and conservationist Sir Peter Markhan Scott (1909–1989), originally produced as a colour plate for the 1950s reference volume The Waterfowl of the World.
Set against a soft lavender-grey background, the study depicts a group of wild swans—including Whooper, Bewick's, and Whistling swans—illustrating variations in adult white and juvenile grey plumage alongside their distinct black-and-yellow bill markings.
The print is presented inside a wide, muted slate-blue mat board with a crisp white inner bevel, housed behind glass in a warm dark-stained wooden frame accented with dark antiqued metal scroll appliqués in each corner.
