About this piece
John Gould hand-colored lithograph for sale: “Andigena hypoglauca,” the Grey-breasted Mountain Toucan, from English ornithologist John Gould’s celebrated 19th-century work on the toucans. This Andean species is captured with Gould’s characteristic blend of scientific accuracy and artistry, its subtle greys, warm accents, and vivid bill brought to life through traditional hand-coloring, a richness no modern reproduction can achieve. At 17” x 14”, it frames into an elegant natural-history statement with real presence. As an authentic antique Gould bird print rather than a facsimile, it is highly collectible, appealing to enthusiasts of ornithological art and fine decorative prints alike. “Andigena hypoglauca” is a genuine John Gould original: 19th-century natural-history art of exceptional beauty and lasting collector value.
