John James Audubon’s “White-breasted Black-capped Nuthatch” from 1827 is a stunning avian portrait that forms part of the timeless collection, Birds of America. This series captures the vivid life and intricate beauty of North American bird species, immortalized through Audubon’s meticulous eye and masterful hand.
This exquisite illustration is now available as a high-quality fine art print.

The prints are meticulously crafted on thick archival matte paper, providing a durable and elegant presentation that will adorn your walls for decades.
John James Audubon, renowned for his dedication to ornithology and art, created Birds of America, a monumental work of 435 hand-colored prints. His ability to animate and detail each bird in their natural setting has made this collection a cornerstone in both the artistic and natural history worlds. The original editions are rare treasures found mainly in upscale libraries and institutions.
The “White-breasted Black-capped Nuthatch” is particularly notable due to its charming depiction of this sprightly bird, scientifically known as Sitta carolinensis. Audubon’s attention to ecological and anatomical detail offers an insightful glimpse into its behaviors and habitats. The interplay of serene grays and subtle blues provides an exquisite contrast against the bird’s snow-white breast, making this piece a sophisticated addition to any art collection.
Whether you’re a passionate bird enthusiast, a collector of historical masterpieces, or simply someone with an appreciation for natural beauty, owning this print is an opportunity to celebrate the enduring legacy of Audubon’s work. It not only enriches your space but also serves as a conduit to the natural world that inspired such artistic devotion.
This print makes for a distinctive gift for occasions such as birthdays, Christmas, Father’s Day, or any moment where an extraordinary touch of elegance and nature might be celebrated.

My standard frames come in six colours (black, dark brown, dark grey, antique gold, oak and white), and custom framing is available for an additional charge. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
