EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by William Hayes showcases the beauty of a Common Shelduck, also known as Tadorna tadorna or Shieldrake. The illustration is part of the renowned collection "Portraits of Rare and Curious Birds from the Menagery of Osterly Park" published in London in 1794. Hayes' attention to detail is evident in this exquisite artwork, capturing the essence and unique characteristics of this magnificent bird. The vibrant colors bring life to every feather, while the intricate lines showcase his mastery as an engraver. The Common Shelduck depicted here stands proudly, its striking plumage drawing our gaze. With its elegant posture and distinctive markings, it exemplifies grace and poise. This print serves as a testament to both Hayes' artistic talent and his dedication to ornithology during the 18th century. Through this enchanting image, we are transported back in time to Osterly Park's menagerie, where rare birds like these were cherished for their beauty and uniqueness. It offers us a glimpse into a world where natural history was celebrated through art. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also the wonders of nature that inspired such creations centuries ago.
