Original Description
John James Audubon’s Winter Hawk. Circus Hyemalis. Plate 71 is a masterpiece of natural history illustration that captures the raw beauty and untamed spirit of North American wildlife. Created as part of his monumental The Birds of America series (1827–1838), the painting depicts a Northern Harrier (also known as the Hen Harrier) mid-flight against a stark winter landscape, its wings outstretched in predatory grace. Audubon’s dynamic composition and meticulous attention to detail—from the hawk’s piercing yellow eyes to the delicate rendering of its plumage—imbue the scene with thrilling drama. Executed in the tradition of ornithological art but elevated by Audubon’s expressive realism, this work exemplifies his revolutionary approach to blending scientific accuracy with artistic grandeur. As Plate 71 in one of the most celebrated natural history publications of all time, Winter Hawk stands as a testament to Audubon’s enduring legacy in both art and environmental documentation.
For a striking interior accent, Winter Hawk demands a space that complements its bold energy and wintry palette. Ideal for a study, library, or executive office, it pairs exquisitely with traditional or transitional decor—think rich wood tones, leather furnishings, and brass accents. Frame it in a gilded or dark-stained wood moulding to harmonize with Audubon’s 19th-century aesthetic, or opt for a sleek black frame for contemporary contrast. Position it as a focal point above a mantel or behind a desk, ensuring ample wall space to accommodate its dramatic scale (original engravings measure approximately 39 x 26 inches). Soften the cool grays of the background with warm textiles like wool throws or a muted Persian rug, while echoing the hawk’s earthy tones through terracotta pots or ochre-hued ceramics. This artwork transforms any room into a sanctuary of sophistication and wild elegance.
