Size

Will it fit? Check these sizes against your wall

Measure the wall between whatever bounds it — window trim, a doorway, the corner. Sizes are judged hung (frame included) with 6 in of breathing room, two-thirds the width of the furniture under them, and the center at eye level (57–60 in). Guidance, not a guarantee: the true-size template is the final check.

  • Made to order just for you: printed, finished and packed within 3–5 business days. Your order reaches the printer within minutes and printing can start soon after; once it starts, the order can't be canceled or changed.
  • Free replacement if it arrives damaged, defective or not what you ordered — tell us within 7 days of delivery, with photos. Because each piece is made for you, there are no returns for a change of mind. Full policy
  • No hanging hardware is included. Stretched and framed canvases hang flat on two nails or screws, set level: the wooden bar on the back rests on them, and the free wall template marks the spot. Rolled canvas goes to a framer first.
  • Printed from an archive scan of the original print (1801–06). Its paper tone, small spots and marks of age are part of the picture, just as on the original sheet, and colors can look slightly different on your screen.

Materials & finish

Printed on 400 gsm canvas with pigment inks. Stretched canvas and float frame canvas sit on a 1.5 in (38 mm) wooden stretcher; the classic frame holds the canvas on a slimmer 0.75 in (19 mm) stretcher. Rolled canvas ships in a sturdy tube.

The float frame stands 2.1 in (53 mm) off the wall, with a 0.5 in (12 mm) face and a 0.2 in (5 mm) gap around the canvas. The classic frame stands 0.9 in (22 mm) off the wall with a 0.8 in (20 mm) face.

Hanging hardware is not included. Two picture hooks (or screws) rated for the weight, set level, are all it needs; the free true-size wall template marks the spot.

The story of this print

Among the most beautiful bird books ever printed, François Levaillant’s Histoire naturelle des perroquets came out in Paris between 1801 and 1805, with plates engraved after the paintings of Jacques Barraband and finished by hand in color. Levaillant (1753–1824) wrote the text; Barraband painted the birds. Plate 19 is captioned Perruche Ara, Guarouba femelle, a female parakeet, and shows the bird in profile on a short, sawn-off branch, facing left. Its head and the sides of its face are a strong red-orange, the throat and breast a pale warm cream, and the belly a deep chestnut brown. A soft patch of pale yellow lies over the shoulder, the wings run from bright green into deep blue at the flight feathers, and the long, pointed tail is green above and blue beneath, reaching down past the end of the branch. The heavy hooked beak is gray, and the eye is a small dark point ringed in pale skin.

Up close the plate shows the engraved outline and feather texture beneath washes of hand-applied watercolor. The reds and chestnuts are warm and even, the greens and blues are layered so that each wing feather has its own edge, and the branch is a dense gray stipple with pale green lichen and a cut end painted in rust. The paper is a warm cream with a faint rectangular plate mark around the image, a few small age spots in the margins and a lightly worn left edge. The caption at the foot is engraved in script, with Barraband pinx. at the left and De l’Imprimerie de Langlois in the center.

As an antique parrot print it suits a study, a library, a dining room, a hallway, a sunroom or a child’s room, and its red, green, blue and cream go with white, cream, olive and navy walls, dark wood and rattan. The tall shape sits well on a narrow wall, beside a door or in a stairwell. It is made to hang with Long-Tailed Roller, Plate 25, its companion from the same volumes and the same bequest, and it also pairs with Empress Josephine Rose for a second warm red-pink note and with Vintage-Style Botanical Fern for a quiet green companion.

What we did to this scan

  1. Used as the museum photographed and published it: no retouching and no color changes.
  2. Enlarged 2× for print with Real-ESRGAN, an AI upscaler, so the engraved line and stipple hold at large sizes.

About this particular sheet. Made from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Open Access photograph of the plate, used as published and enlarged 2× for print; the museum's record is linked on this page.

Every print is credited to its archive here and in your order confirmation. Paper tone and small imperfections of the original are kept on purpose; nothing is redrawn. How we restore.

Questions

What does the plate show?
A parakeet in profile perched on a short, cut branch spotted with lichen, its head and face red-orange with a pale cream throat and breast, a chestnut-brown belly, a patch of pale yellow at the shoulder, green and deep blue wings and a long, pointed tail of green shading to blue. The hooked beak is gray. The engraved caption beneath reads Perruche Ara, Guarouba femelle, Pl. 19, with Barraband pinx. at the left and the printer's name, Langlois, in the center.
Is this an original print?
No. It is a new print made from the museum's photograph of the plate, which is held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. We never sell originals or antiques.
Where does the image come from?
It comes from The Met's Open Access program. The work is in the public domain, and the Met releases this photograph under Creative Commons Zero (CC0). The museum's record is linked on this page.
How is it made?
It is printed to order for you, in the finish you choose: a float frame canvas, a classic frame canvas, a stretched canvas, a rolled canvas or an acrylic panel. Both frames come in Black or Antique Gold. The size and finish picker shows which sizes each finish is made in.
Colors vary a little between screens and canvas. The previews are drawn, not photographed, and are a close match to the printed piece.
