167 Francis Barlow (c. 1626–1704) – Study of an Eagle – Engraving (Late 17th Century)

This engraving, Plate 1 from a larger series, presents a detailed naturalistic study of a large bird of prey, likely an eagle, perched on rocky ground. The print meticulously captures the bird's powerful build, sharp talons, hooked beak, and the intricate texture of its plumage, showcasing the artist's keen observation skills. It likely originates from one of Barlow's published collections devoted to animal and bird studies.
Francis Barlow is considered one of the earliest and most important British wildlife artists. Primarily active in the latter half of the 17th century, he specialized in paintings, drawings, and etchings of animals, particularly birds, hunting scenes, and illustrations for Aesop's Fables. His work is noted for its careful observation of animal anatomy and behaviour, laying the groundwork for later British sporting and animal art.
