Description


Waxwing – Jewel of the Winter Flock

The Waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus) is a striking winter visitor, celebrated for its silky plumage, bold black mask, and the red, wax-like tips on its wing feathers from which it takes its name. In this artwork, the bird is captured delicately feeding, its crest raised in quiet elegance.
W
axwings breed in the northern forests of Scandinavia and Russia, descending southward in irruptive flocks when berry crops fail. Their arrival is a spectacle, often seen clustered in groups, devouring rowan, hawthorn, and cotoneaster berries with insatiable appetite.

Their trilling calls and synchronised movements lend a sense of magic to otherwise bare winter landscapes.

This Giclée print is faithfully reproduced using archival pigment inks on fine art paper, offered in a hand-signed and numbered Limited Edition of 150. Each print is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Poetic Note
From frozen woods it journeys far,
A winter jewel, a northern star.
With crested crown and plumage fine,
It graces orchards in frosty time.
