Originally painted by Audubon circa 1825. The rattlesnake was copied from an earlier drawing made at Oakley Plantation, Louisiana in 1821. This painting excited much criticism and controversy because of Audubon’s depiction of the rattlesnake.
There is a strict limitation of 200 copies of each image. Space prevents showing anything but a very small sample of prints, but if you are interested in a specific painting (or the painting for a specific print), please contact me for an image, size information, and price. Plate numbers that include an “A” were not used as part of The Birds of America.
