Original Description
The painting Procyon Lotor, Cuvier, Raccoon. Male by John James Audubon is a captivating masterpiece from his monumental work The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America. Executed between 1845 and 1848, this meticulously detailed watercolor and oil study showcases Audubon’s signature blend of scientific precision and artistic grandeur. The raccoon is depicted mid-motion—its expressive eyes, textured fur, and sinuous paw creating a lifelike immediacy, as if captured in a fleeting moment of wild curiosity. Set against a softly rendered woodland backdrop, the composition balances naturalism with dramatic tension, characteristic of Audubon’s Romantic-era reverence for nature. As both a scientific document and a work of art, it exemplifies Audubon’s pioneering role in bridging art and natural history, securing his legacy as America’s preeminent wildlife illustrator. Today, it remains celebrated for its vitality and contribution to 19th-century American art.
For display, this Audubon print would elevate spaces with its timeless sophistication. Ideal for a study, library, or executive office, its muted earth tones—soft browns, grays, and ochres—harmonize with wood finishes, leather furniture, or neutral walls. A medium-to-large size (around 24x36 inches) ensures impact without overwhelming; pair it with vintage brass frames or minimalist black wood for contrast. In a contemporary setting, the raccoon’s dynamic posture adds whimsy, while traditional interiors benefit from its classical technique. Flank it with botanical prints or Audubon’s bird studies for thematic cohesion. The artwork’s natural subject also suits cabins or conservation-themed spaces, inviting organic textures like stone or linen. Wherever placed, it sparks conversation while honoring Audubon’s legacy of art-meets-science elegance.
