The story of the bird
The Green-winged Macaw (Ara chloropterus) carries the drama of a scarlet macaw with a deeper, more mature palette. The body is a rich, dark red, the wing coverts run through green, and the flight feathers open into blue, so the bird reads as one long sweep of colour from shoulder to tail. It is one of the largest macaws in the Americas, with fine red lines tracing the pale facial skin, and it holds a wall with real presence without needing a busy background.
The plate shows the macaw perched on a pale rainforest branch, the red body and green wing band set against clean, spacious space in a museum-shop treatment that stays elegant rather than garish. It is rendered in a contemporary Audubon-inspired natural-history style with a soft paper-grain finish. It is a natural companion to the Scarlet Macaw or the Blue-and-Gold Macaw for a buyer building a colourful tropical set, the three reading beautifully together over a sideboard or up a stairwell.

Paper and finish
Unframed prints come on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308gsm, a heavyweight cotton rag with a soft matte surface and true archival life. The surface holds fine lines and subtle colour gradients without glare, which matters for Audubon-tradition work where the cream ground needs to read as paper, not as a white field. The framed option is set in a classic moulding, glazed and ready to hang, in black, white or natural.
Sizes
Available as archival fine-art prints in 8x10, 16x20, and 24x30 inches, with framed and unframed options where available.
