Les Pigeons - Columba Coronata

Featured Collection

Les Pigeons. Parisian, preposterous, and positively perfect.
This curious flock of feathered dandies was plucked from Pauline Knip’s Les Pigeons. A delicate drama of plumage and poise with 19th-century elegance. This unique collection revives her ornithological illustrations as timeless wall art for naturalists, romantics, and the aesthetically inclined.

Behold these great many printed treasures.

Abstract sculpture with curved shapes labeled "Ballet Mécanique" and the number 391.
Illustration of Villa Gori with landscaped gardens and a large building in the background.
Illustrated garden plan with symmetrical, geometric design labeled "Parterre from the James Gordon Bennett Estate." The image features pathways and landscaped flower beds in vibrant colors.
Color chart displaying a scale of chromas from light pastels to dark shades, organized in a grid. Includes greens, grays, purples, and pinks. Labeled with numbers indicating chroma levels.
