Audubon House Wren (Plate 83): Birds of America Fine Art Reproduction

Invite the inquisitive charm of the American backyard into your home with this exquisite John James Audubon House Wren reproduction. Plate 83 from The Birds of America immortalizes this feisty, songful bird in a pose full of 19th-century Naturalism and life.

The House Wren (Troglodytes aedon) is depicted here with the curiosity and energetic personality for which it is renowned. As part of his quest to record all North American birds life-size, Audubon captures two wrens perched on a broken tree stump, their subtle, grayish-brown plumage rendered with the meticulous detail characteristic of the original hand-colored engraving. Audubon's illustration style—which often shows birds in a state of implied motion—brings the scene to life. This print is a testament to the fact that even the smallest subjects were treated with the utmost respect and artistry in Audubon's monumental collection. It offers a piece of historical ornithological art that is simultaneously intimate and globally significant, perfect for traditional decor and discerning nature lovers.
