Lithograph of The Regal Perch: The Northern Gannet (Sula bassana), 1927

About the Item

This print, part of the distinguished "Svenska Fåglar Efter Naturen Och På Sten Ritade" series, depicts the Northern Gannet, known by its scientific name Sula bassana, or "Havssula" in Swedish. The bird is presented perched gracefully atop a rocky outcrop, suggesting its natural coastal environment. The gannet is illustrated with a remarkable attention to detail, from the creamy white plumage that covers most of its body to the subtle yellow hue on the crown of its head. Its long, pointed beak and the area around the eyes are a striking shade of blue-grey, highlighting the sharp gaze that is characteristic of seabirds. The gannet's wings are partially folded, revealing the black tips of its primary feathers, which provide a striking contrast to the white of its body. The artist has rendered the bird's webbed feet with precision, and the texture of the rock it stands on is depicted with fine shading, giving a sense of solidity and texture. The simplicity of the background, with its muted colors, directs full attention to the bird, celebrating its elegant form and poise. As with the other prints in the collection, the artwork appears to be well-preserved, with the colors maintaining their original vibrancy and the paper showing no signs of significant wear or damage. This print captures the essence of the Northern Gannet's beauty and its majestic presence along the rugged coastlines where it is typically found. This is an original and NOT a reproduction!
