Depicts the American bald eagle feasting on a catfish. "Audubon was dissatisfied with the earlier painting he had done in Missouri in 1820, in which the bird was feeding on a goose; so in London in 1828 he made a new painting with the catfish instead ... Although Audubon was confused about the young Bald Eagle which he painted for plate XI, which he called Bird of Washington, he had the species correct for the bird he painted here (an adult)" (Low, pp. 46-47).Engraving with hand-coloring, etching, and aquatint, dated 1828, on watermarked J Whatman paper dated 1828. 637 x 950 mm sheet size.
