EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching depicts The Little Black Bullfinch (Rubicilla minor nigra), a rare subspecies of the European Bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula), dated between 1743 and 1762. The artwork was created by the skilled German artist, Johann Michael Seligmann. The Bullfinch is shown perched on a leafy branch, surrounded by various plants, including Pyrrhua europaea, adding to the intricate detail and naturalistic representation. Seligmann's mastery of the etching technique is evident in the fine lines and delicate shading, which were later hand-colored to bring the image to life. The Little Black Bullfinch was a popular subject in ornithological studies during the eighteenth century, and Seligmann's work is an important contribution to the field. This artwork is a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the time, showcasing the beauty and diversity of nature. The etching bears the mark of Catesby, likely due to its inclusion in the "Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands" by Mark Catesby, a renowned English naturalist. Today, this precious piece is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire appreciation for the natural world and the artistry of the past. Seligmann's The Little Black Bullfinch is a valuable addition to any collection focused on the history of art, ornithology, or the natural sciences.
