This painting is after John James Audubon’s Snowy Heron, or White Egret (Plate 242 from The Birds of America, 1835), a celebrated engraving that showcases the elegant white bird in its natural habitat. Depicted with full plumage, the heron stands by a riverbank, with a Southern rice plantation landscape in the background—specifically near Charleston, South Carolina.

Intentional appearance of age cracking, associated fleabites.
