A watercolour painting by Archibald Thorburn showing two hazel dormice in a natural setting. The artist's skill is evident in the rendering of the dormice's fur and the soft, natural background.
Archibald Thorburn (1860-1935) was a Scottish artist, famed for his depictions of British wildlife. His meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy made him a favourite among ornithologists and country sportsmen alike. Thorburn's work helped to popularise an appreciation for the natural world, at a time when conservation efforts were gaining momentum. He illustrated numerous books, including Lord Lilford's *Birds of the British Islands* and his own *British Birds*. His paintings are prized for their realism and their ability to capture the character of each animal. *Dormice* presents two hazel dormice perched on branches, surrounded by leaves. The dormouse on the left sits alertly, its gaze directed towards the viewer. The dormouse on the right nibbles on a green nut. Thorburn's skill is evident in the rendering of the dormice's fur, each strand seemingly distinct. The background is a soft wash of greens and blues, creating a natural setting for the animals. The composition is simple, yet effective, drawing the viewer's eye to the charming subjects.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
