Hand-Painted Oil Painting Replica: Swallow-tailed Hawk (Plate 72, Birds of America) by John James Audubon (Dafen Artist Studio)

Elevate your fine art collection with a custom hand-painted oil reproduction of John James Audubon’s celebrated raptor illustration, “Swallow-tailed Hawk (Plate 72)” (known today as the Swallow-tailed Kite, Elanoides forficatus) from his world-famous series Birds of America (1827–1838).

Meticulously hand-painted brushstroke by brushstroke by senior studio painters in Dafen Oil Painting Village, this canvas artwork delivers authentic physical surface texture and visual depth that flat digital prints cannot match. The studio artists faithfully recreate the soaring composition—capturing the bird’s iconic deeply forked V-tail, pure white head and underparts, dark steel-blue wings, and its dramatic pose clutching a small snake in mid-air.
