Trumpeter Swan (Young), c. 1837 by John James Audubon

Trumpeter Swan (Young), by John James Audubon A young trumpeter swan preens amid tall marsh grasses, its plumage still carrying the soft brown-gray tones of immaturity rather than the pure white of adulthood. John James Audubon (American, 1785-1851) is celebrated for The Birds of America, his monumental, life-sized study of North American birdlife rendered with exacting naturalist detail.

Artist: John James Audubon (American, 1785-1851). Date: circa 1837.
