Highlights

• Two-tone Brown wood frame with double mat (Tan and Brown)
• Hand signed in pencil lower right

• Tony Biagi’s "Red Tail Hawk" is a classic example of 20th-century ornithological realism. The artwork features a highly detailed, scientific-style depiction of a Red-Tailed Hawk, shown in a portrait orientation. 
• The hawk is the central focus, depicted with a keen, lifelike expression. Biagi’s style emphasizes feather texture and anatomical accuracy, using delicate lines and a naturalistic color palette.
• It is a limited edition lithograph - a high-quality print process that captures the fine pencil and brush strokes of the original drawing.
• Part of Biagi's "Wildlife Series", the background is a neutral off-white to ensure the bird remains the primary subject.
