ShivamBacall’s Pelican Painting
One can get an idea of the class and quality of Bacall’s art collection from the fact that they were worth even more than the combined furniture in the house. One of the main contributors to this fact was the American White Pelican’s original print made by James Audubon which got sold for a whopping amount of $173,000. The creator of the print James was a painter, naturalist and an ornithologist by profession. This was the reason behind his expertise in painting birds while in their natural habitat and the American White Pelican was one of the best examples of it. But, his most recognized work was that of a color-plate book named The Birds of America (1827-1839) primarily because of the fact of being the first ever ornithological to be completed.
