Printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308gsm.

The Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno) is the collector piece of the tropical group, and one of the most beautiful birds in the whole collection: iridescent emerald plumage, a deep red breast, and the long green tail streamers the male grows in the breeding season. It is a bird of the cloud forests of Central America, sacred to the ancient Maya and Aztecs, who prized its tail feathers, and it remains the national bird of Guatemala.

The plate shows the male perched on a cloud-forest branch, the emerald plumage and long tail streamers carried through a spacious, controlled composition that gives the piece room to breathe. It is rendered in a contemporary Audubon-inspired natural-history style with a soft paper-grain finish. It is positioned for the buyer who wants something more unusual than a macaw or a toucan: a tropical birding gift, a natural-history collector’s piece, the quiet, particular bird a keen naturalist knows by name.

Paper and finish

Unframed prints come on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308gsm, a heavyweight cotton rag with a soft matte surface and true archival life. The surface holds fine lines and subtle colour gradients without glare, which matters for Audubon-tradition work where the cream ground needs to read as paper, not as a white field. The framed option is set in a classic moulding, glazed and ready to hang, in black, white or natural.

Sizes

Available as archival fine-art prints in 8x10, 16x20, and 24x30 inches, with framed and unframed options where available.
