Bilder Unknown Artist – Bittern – Engraving (18th Century)
Beskrivning
This ornithological illustration depicts a bittern, a secretive wading bird of the heron family, standing at the edge of a water source. The bird is shown in a characteristic hunched posture, with its long, sharp beak pointed downward and its plumage rendered with intricate mottled and streaked patterns that provide natural camouflage in reed beds. The print captures the bird's distinctive anatomical features, including its large, powerful feet and thick neck, positioned within a sparse wetland environment represented by a small pool and a grassy bank.
