Arctic Jager

About this work

This print shows two Arctic terns in flight and on a rocky shore. One bird glides above the ocean, wings spread wide, while the other stands on jagged rocks near the water. The sky is soft with clouds, and distant mountains fade into the horizon. The artist used fine lines and shading to show the birds’ feathers in detail. The name *Arctic Jager* is written below, hinting at the bird’s scientific identity. Look up engraving to see how artists like this carved intricate images into metal plates.
