A 1970s rectangular-format framed lithograph featuring four textured ring-necked pheasants in a soaring silhouette over a textured golden prairie landscape under a vibrant blue sky, housed in a dark wood frame with a gold-tone inner lip.
Invoke the crisp, bracing energy of an autumn morning with this signed print, "Tomahawk Trail—Pheasants," by the legendary wildlife master David A. Maass. This breathtaking composition serves as a vibrant archive of the classic American sporting tradition, capturing the explosive grace of ring-necked pheasants as they take flight over a sun-drenched prairie. Maass’s mastery of atmospheric light and avian anatomy creates a profound sense of movement, from the detailed iridescent plumage of the lead cock to the soft, hazy treeline in the distance. This substantial work offers a grounded and soulful centerpiece for a lodge-inspired study or a heritage-themed gallery.
Measuring approximately 19.75 inches by 25.25 inches, this piece is professionally matted and housed in a traditional dark wooden frame accented with a gold-tone fillet. The lower margin features the artist’s signature, providing significant archival value and provenance to the piece. This print remains in very good vintage condition, preserving its rich color saturation and fine illustrative details. As an honest vintage artifact, the wooden frame exhibits a few light scuffs that have been touched up with a professional wood pen, and the protective paper on the reverse side needs replacement. Whether featured as a visual cornerstone in a traditional interior or added to a gallery of nature art, this Maass print brings an enduring and imaginative energy to any curated space.
Details: Measures about 19.75 by 25.25". Very good condition. The wooden frame has a couple scuffs that I went over with a wood pen. The back paper needs to be replaced.
