Blue and Yellow Macaw Greeting Card

Edward Lear Blue and Yellow Macaw greeting card. Oil painting on canvas from 19th century. Naturalist painter Edward Lear depicted hundreds of different birds throughout his career. Lear is particularly famed for his beautiful illustrations of tropical birds like parrots and cockatoos. This painting of a blue and yellow macaw (Macrocercus Ararauna) is one of Lear’s most stunning works. It features the bird sitting on a branch crouched over with its famous white and black striped face towards the viewer. A pretty gift for fans of parrots, naturalist paintings, bird illustrations, and nature art.
