Moineau gorgeblanche
1827-1838
John James Audubon brings the White-throated Sparrow to life in this stunning plate from his legendary *The Birds of America* portfolio. Notice how the male and female birds are captured in dynamic, almost awkward poses on a blooming dogwood branch—a signature Audubon trick to show off every angle of their beautiful plumage. Originally published between 1827 and 1838, this massive project aimed to document every bird species in North America, forever changing how we look at nature illustration.
