Variant 1. Depicts two birds on a blossoming branch of huckleberry. "Although the painting is dated 1812, it is generally believed that it was improved later, as it shows more ability than Audubon had in 1812." At the time of the original painting, Audubon and his wife Lucy were in Fatland Farm, Pennsylvania, visiting her family. Fatland Farm was next door to Mill Grove, where Audubon lived before he married Lucy. Low, p. 43
Engraving with hand-coloring, etching, and aquatint, on watermarked J Whatman paper dated 1828, with margins. Plate size 491 x 310 mm (954 x 628 mm sheet). (Very pale mat-toning, edges with light soiling and a few spots.) Matted and framed.
