Description

A large print of a purple heron, originally done in walnut ink, is reproduced on an off-white paper and further enhanced with a hand-made frame. “Le Heron Pourpre” in French, and “Ardea purpurea” in Latin, the purple heron is a large but slender wading bird adorned with darker reddish-brown plumage. While this large and luxurious piece of wall decor will look gorgeous in a classically appointed living room, study or library, it would also be a perfect gift for an ornithology buff or a history buff, as this bird is a likely basis for the Egyptian mythological Phoenix.
