Printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308gsm.

A spray of flowering desert sage, and a bird suspended at its edge. The Black-chinned Hummingbird hovers, wings a blur at mid-beat, that needle of a bill angled toward the bloom. The palette is cool and sun-bleached: dusty silver-green sage, a grey-green back, a cream ground behind, and at the throat, if the angle is right, a thin band of iridescent violet above the black chin.

The print

A fine-art study in a contemporary Audubon-inspired natural-history style with a soft paper-grain finish, the male angled to show the gorget, composed with clean negative space around the sage.

Paper and finish

Unframed prints come on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm, a heavyweight archival cotton rag with a soft matte surface. Choose the framed option and the print arrives mounted, glazed and ready to hang, in your choice of black, white or natural frame.

Sizes

Three sizes: 8 x 10, 16 x 20 and 24 x 30 inches. Prints from $39. Framed from $99.

About the bird

Archilochus alexandri is a bird of the dry American West, canyons, desert washes, river edges and foothills from southern British Columbia down through California, Utah, Colorado and Texas. At rest, in flat light, the male’s chin looks plain black; turn your head, or wait for the bird to shift, and a narrow line of violet flares across the lower border. That is the field mark that names the species. Females and young birds carry no throat colour at all.
