A pair of Gambel's quail — teardrop topknots and all — resting among prickly pear, by American wildlife illustrator Lynn Bean, known for her finely textured watercolors of North American birds and Southwestern flora. A vintage open-edition lithograph from her 1980s home decor series, signed in the plate, oval-matted in its original factory frame with the production stamp still on the backing paper.
Warm desert tones that read surprisingly at home in a Midwest room.
