Veritable Papier D'Arches Torchon chop mark/blind stamp lower left. There is a pencil study of a Snowy Egret on verso. The snowy egret is a small white heron. The genus name comes from the Provençal French for the little egret aigrette, a diminutive of aigron, "heron". The species name thula is the Araucano for the black-necked swan, applied to this species in error by Chilean naturalist Juan Ignacio Molina in 1782. Biography: Dan Goad was born in Los Angeles, California in 1952. He is a self taught naturalist and artist who has been a close and fascinated student of ornithology and other wildlife since childhood. He calls birds "Nature's most eloquent expression" and his renderings are reminiscent of the orient, utilizing brilliant and unusual color combinations, fine draftsmanship, and a stylized flatness in his work. Represented throughout the United States and fifteen foreign countries his prints, posters, and original paintings have a universal appeal. In 1986, He was commissioned by the First Lady Lady Nancy Reagan and the White house, along with celebrated American artists Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns, to paint a wooden Easter egg for the annual White House Easter Egg Hunt. It is now part of the permanent display in the Smithsonian Institution.
