Archibald Thorburn Prints – Birds, Wildlife & Natural Settings
Archibald Thorburn prints place birds and other wildlife within rocky coastlines, snowy slopes, woodland edges and open ground. Individual plumage and posture remain prominent without losing the surrounding habitat. Browse unframed prints, framed prints and canvas panels, alongside bird illustrations and wildlife art.
The bird against a coastal backdrop
Peregrine at Auchencairn places the falcon on a close rocky perch above blue sea. Its still pose and patterned plumage contrast with the broader surfaces of water and distant sky. Other raptor subjects offer different relationships between the individual bird and its exposed setting.
White plumage against winter ground
Winter Ptarmigan brings pale birds into a snow-covered landscape, with wings and darker markings giving the bodies definition. The surrounding rocks and vegetation remain subdued within the winter palette. Browse bird prints for further species and seasonal settings.
The sudden movement out of cover
Pheasants Breaking out of Cover follows birds rising above an autumnal bank. The direction of their bodies extends the movement away from the dense vegetation. Other works in the collection range from resting birds to animals in flight or moving through their surroundings.
