Original Description
John James Audubon’s Douglass Squirrel, No. 10, Plate 48 is a captivating masterpiece from his monumental work The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America. This lithograph showcases Audubon’s unparalleled ability to blend scientific precision with artistic elegance. The Douglass squirrel, depicted mid-movement with remarkable detail against a subtly shaded background, exudes vitality and curiosity—its fur rendered in rich browns and creamy whites, contrasting beautifully with the soft foliage. Created during Audubon’s later years (1845–1848), the piece reflects his transition from avian to mammalian subjects while retaining his signature lifelike dynamism. As part of his broader effort to document North American wildlife, this work remains a testament to 19th-century naturalist art, bridging art and science. Its historical significance lies in Audubon’s pioneering use of lithography, democratizing access to exquisite zoological illustrations while elevating wildlife art to fine-art status.
For home or office decor, Douglass Squirrel adds warmth and sophistication. Ideal for traditional, cabin-style, or nature-inspired interiors, it complements wooden furniture, leather accents, or earthy textiles. Place it in a study, library, or lounge to enhance organic elegance—its rich browns harmonize with green walls, warm neutrals, or rustic wood finishes. Opt for a medium-to-large frame (24x36 inches) to balance detail and presence; an ornate gold or distressed wood frame reinforces its vintage charm, while a sleek black frame modernizes it for contemporary spaces. Pair with Audubon’s other prints or botanical art for thematic cohesion. In offices, it fosters tranquility and creativity, suited near desks or communal areas. Versatile yet timeless, this piece infuses spaces with natural wonder and scholarly refinement.
