Audubon Aquatint, Blue-winged Yellow Warbler
AUDUBON, John James (1785 - 1851).
Blue-winged Yellow Warbler, Plate 20.
Aquatint engraving with original hand color.
London: Robert Havell, 1827-1838.
38 5/8" x 25 1/2" sheet.
Comparable: Christie's, 1/18/2001 - $9,400; Christie's, 6/25/2004 - $7,170
This pretty little Warbler is migratory, and arrives in Louisiana from the south in the beginning of spring. It is found in open woods, as well as in the vicinity of ponds overgrown with low bushes and rank weeds. Along with a pair of Blue-winged Yellow Warblers, I have represented a species of Hibiscus, which grows on the edges of these ponds. Its flowers are handsome, but unfortunately have no pleasant odour.
