Antique hand colored ornithological print depicting a Black Scoter Male in profile, shown standing along a shoreline, presented in a decorative frame.

This finely detailed antique bird lithograph illustrates a Black Scoter Male with rich dark plumage and a distinctive orange bill. The bird is depicted in naturalistic profile against a muted coastal background, typical of 19th century ornithological studies. The print features careful hand coloring and delicate line work, highlighting feather texture and anatomical accuracy. Matted and housed in a classic gilt-accented frame, the presentation complements the period aesthetic and makes it ready for display in traditional, coastal, or natural history-inspired interiors.
