Bronze Eagle Statue by A. Thorburg
Bronze Eagle Statue by Archibald Thorburn 1860-1935 , measures 7''W x 18''H, artist signed, on marble base, FYI: '' Archibald Thorburn (31 May 1860 - 9 October 1935 Hascombe, Surrey) was a Scottish artist and animal painter and bird illustrator, painting mostly in watercolour. He regularly visited Scotland to sketch birds in the wild, his favourite haunt being the Forest of Gaick near Kingussie in Invernesshire. His widely reproduced images of British wildlife, with their evocative and dramatic backgrounds, are enjoyed as much today as they were by sportsmen and birdlovers of a century ago. He was the fifth son of Robert Thorburn, miniaturist painter to Queen Victoria . Archibald Thorburn's first bird illustrations were published when he was 22 years old.''
