This finely detailed Black Eagle (Verreaux’s Eagle) illustration reflects the artist’s background in scientific and natural history illustration. Created with watercolour, ink and pencil, the artwork captures the bird with precision and clarity, in a style reminiscent of traditional ornithological field guides and birding books.

The piece forms part of the Fynbos Fauna and Flora collection, a series commissioned by K.E.A.G (Kommetjie Environmental Action Group) under the guidance of Wally Peterson, highlighting species found within the unique fynbos ecosystem of South Africa.

The artist has produced numerous illustrations for environmental organisations and educational projects, where accurate observation and scientific detail are essential. This work reflects that tradition, combining artistic sensitivity with the discipline of natural history illustration to portray the Black Eagle with authenticity and respect.

Ideal for collectors who appreciate bird art, wildlife illustration and scientifically accurate nature artwork, this piece celebrates both the beauty of raptors and the biodiversity of the South African landscape.
