Old Original Engraving of the Female The Black-faced Bunting, 1794
About the Item
"Subtle Beauty: The Black-faced Bunting (Female)"
Description: This hand-colored copperplate engraving is a piece from the illustrious collection by William Hayes and Matilda Hayes, known for their detailed bird illustrations in "Portraits of Rare and Curious Birds" from Osterly Park. This particular engraving was first published in the 1794 edition and subsequently included in the 1817 edition, which was released to benefit the Hayes family.
The image features a female Black-faced Bunting, perched delicately on a twisted branch. Her plumage is a study in muted elegance, with intricate patterns of brown and beige feathers, detailed with subtle crescent-shaped markings and a soft, understated grey that graces her chest and underparts. Her namesake black face is captured with a gentle fidelity, highlighting the distinctive facial markings of this species.
The bunting's stance is one of quiet observation, set against a softly rendered backdrop that suggests a peaceful, grassy knoll. The simplicity of the setting serves to emphasize the natural beauty and the fine details of the bird's appearance. The paper, bearing the marks of time, contributes an antique charm to the engraving, enhancing its historical and artistic value. This work is a celebration not only of the artistry of the Hayes family but also of the understated beauty of the natural world, preserved through the ages in this serene portrayal.
