EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Mark Catesby, a renowned British artist from the 18th century. The image features an enchanting scene where a Sciurnus Niger, commonly known as a Fox squirrel, is depicted alongside a delicate Calceolus orchid, also known as the lady's slipper orchid. This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Sciurnus Niger (Fox squirrel) (with) Calceolus (lady s-slipper orchid), plate 73" was published in London in 1754 as part of Catesby's famous work "The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands". Measuring at 52.5x36 cm, this stunning print captures the beauty and intricacy of nature with its vibrant colours and meticulous details. Against a pristine white background, the grey Fox squirrel can be seen actively engaged in its natural habitat while enjoying a nut meal. The elegant lady's slipper orchid adds an element of grace to the composition with its delicate petals and unique shape. Catesby's artistic talent shines through in this piece as he skillfully combines botanical accuracy with artistic flair. The hand-colouring technique used enhances every aspect of this illustration, bringing it to life for viewers to appreciate. This print from Fine Art Finder offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to own a piece that not only celebrates nature but also pays homage to one of history's most talented illustrators.
