**Originally Listed At $450**
Alexander Pope (American, 1849-1924). Chromolithograph, 1878. Signature, date, and printing information (Armstrong & Co. Boston) in the plate at bottom of image. An original, antique chromolithograph from Alexander Pope's series "Upland Game Birds and Water Fowl of the United States". In this composition, Pope presents a pair of mallard ducks gliding across a serene pond, with one of the ducks eagerly opening its beak to catch a tasty berry. Notice how naturalistic Pope's details and hues are. Furthermore, Pope's composition is wonderful; he placed the ducks right up to the picture plane, contrasting their saturated hues with the more subtle tones of their picturesque surroundings. A magnificent example of Alexander Pope's keen observation and artistry, mounted in exceptional framing that was artistically designed with carefully selected, museum-quality materials. Size (sight view): 13" L x 20" W (33 cm x 50.8 cm) Size (frame): 31.125" L x 38.125" W (79.1 cm x 96.8 cm)
Alexander Pope was an American sporting artist who contributed to the American style of watercolors during the 19th century. Like many American sporting artists of his day, Pope issued stunning portfolios of chromolithographs after his watercolors.
Provenance: private Colorado Collection; Private Collection of a Private Colorado Family
