Paon et Paonnes sur une Branche
Etching, Delteil 55, B. N. Inv. 5, 240 x 160 mm. Fine impression on tan laid paper with large margins. Bodmer, a Swiss-born artist, is well known in the historic print area for his many and fine lithographs of the exploration of the American West. Less well known is that he was at Barbizon in its heyday as an artistic nexus and that he did superb etchings and lithographs of animals in their natural habitats. This marvelous image of a peacock and peahens is clearly as much a work of art as an ornithological study and the decorative quality of the foliage is accented by the subtle incorporation in it of his signature (backwards) at the lower right.
