Original Lithograph of a Perched Predator: The Merlin (Falco Aesalon), 1927
About the Item
This print, a part of the "Svenska Fåglar Efter Naturen Och På Sten Ritade" collection, features the Merlin, known scientifically as Falco Aesalon. The bird of prey is depicted perched upon a rock, its body poised and eyes vigilant, capturing the essence of this small yet fierce raptor.
The artist has rendered the Merlin with precision and care, showcasing its compact form and beautifully barred plumage. The feathers are intricately detailed with various shades of brown and cream, creating a realistic texture that gives the bird a three-dimensional appearance. The bird's underparts are a warm buff, with fine streaking, while the upperparts exhibit a subtler, slate-grey tone.
Its sharp, hooked beak is partially open, hinting at the Merlin's predatory nature, and its bright yellow talons grip the stone tightly, demonstrating the power and control it exerts in its environment. The bird’s keen, forward-looking eye is highlighted with a bright ring, suggesting its acute vision.
The simplicity of the background, with soft color gradients, emphasizes the Merlin's presence and allows the viewer to appreciate the detail in the bird's feathers and the nuanced expression captured by the artist. The overall condition of the print appears to be excellent, with the colors maintaining their depth and the paper free from damage, indicating careful preservation over time. This image is a fine example of ornithological art, blending scientific accuracy with artistic expression.
