{"product_id":"orange-bellied-squirrel-sciurus-sub-auratus-by-john-woodhouse-audubon-1845","title":"Orange-bellied Squirrel (Sciurus sub-auratus) by John Woodhouse Audubon, 1845","description":"\u003cp\u003eSciurus sub-auratus, Orange-bellied Squirrel. Male \u0026amp; female. Natural size. by John Woodhouse Audubon (1845) captures the precision and quiet drama of nineteenth-century natural history art. The son of the famed John James Audubon, John Woodhouse combined field observation with painterly finesse to portray wildlife with anatomical accuracy and an artist’s sensitivity. Here, a male and female orange-bellied squirrel are presented at life scale, their alert postures and finely rendered fur set against a clean white ground that emphasizes comparative study as much as visual delight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing offers a museum-quality fine art print, crafted with archival pigment inks on acid-free paper or on artist’s cotton canvas. Choose from a range of sizes to suit your space, with optional borders, matting, and custom framing. The Unique Maps Co. can personalize your piece with a discreet title cartouche, dedication, or date, and can tailor sizing to fit gallery walls or intimate reading nooks alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the artist: John Woodhouse Audubon (1812–1862) was an American naturalist-artist who helped extend the Audubon legacy into mammalogy. Trained both in the field and studio, he became known for lucid, carefully observed images that balanced scientific intent with elegant design. Working in the mid-1840s, he contributed to the flourishing of zoological illustration that documented North America’s fauna for a growing public captivated by exploration and discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the subject: Labeled Sciurus sub-auratus—commonly, the “orange-bellied squirrel”—this plate exemplifies the era’s scientific aims by presenting both male and female at natural size for direct comparison. Such clarity served collectors, scholars, and curious readers alike, advancing knowledge of biodiversity when new species records and regional variants were still being established. The straightforward, species-focused composition makes the image equally suitable for study and display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor, style, and why to own it: A restrained palette of warm browns and russets plays against the bright white background, allowing the squirrels’ orange bellies and glossy tails to glow with lifelike immediacy. Delicate, precise strokes articulate the soft lay of fur; meanwhile, the twig, dotted leaves, and round fruits introduce organic rhythms—elongated lines meeting gentle circles—to anchor the animals in their habitat without distracting from them. The result is a timeless natural history plate that pairs beautifully with classic, cottage, or modern interiors, lending scholarly charm and a serene, woodland warmth to any wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThoughtful and elegant, this print makes a superb gift for nature lovers, new homeowners, and anyone with a passion for wildlife art—perfect for Christmas, birthdays, Father’s or Mother’s Day, or to welcome home a friend just back from a woodland hike or North American road trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're not sure what size to order, or you're looking for a custom order of some kind \u003cspan\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e a different size, a different colour, a special frame \u003cspan\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e then please \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact me\u003c\/a\u003e.
