Hand-Colored Engraving of the Small Brown and White Duck by Seligmann, c.1770
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Die Kleine Braune und Weiße Ente - Hand-Colored Engraving of the Small Brown and White Duck by Johann Michael Seligmann, 18th Century
This elegant hand-colored engraving, titled *Die Kleine Braune und Weiße Ente*, portrays the Small Brown and White Duck (*Anas Canadensis minor fulcus*) resting gracefully on calm waters. This artwork is part of Johann Michael Seligmann’s *Sammlung verschiedener ausländischer und seltener Vögel* (Collection of Various Foreign and Rare Birds), a monumental series that translated the illustrations of renowned naturalists, such as George Edwards, into stunning prints for an 18th-century audience.
The plate, numbered "Tab. LII," captures the bird’s fine plumage details, with deep brown tones and subtle white highlights rendered through meticulous hand-coloring. The serene water and minimalistic background enhance the focus on the duck, while the French title, *Le Petit Canard Brun et Blanc*, underscores the historical importance of the engraving as a study of North American avifauna.
This piece is ideal for collectors of historical ornithological prints or enthusiasts of 18th-century natural history illustrations. Seligmann’s dedication to scientific accuracy and aesthetic beauty is evident, making this print of the Small Brown and White Duck a delightful addition to any collection of antique bird engravings.
