This charismatic portrait captures the unmistakable personality of Australia's iconic emu with a delightful blend of accuracy and charm. Robyn Clarke's meticulous illustration brings to life the emu's distinctive features—from its vibrant orange-red eyes and expressive "smile" to the textured plumage that appears almost touchable.
The direct, forward-facing perspective creates an engaging connection between viewer and subject, highlighting the emu's naturally inquisitive expression. Notice the remarkable attention to detail in the feathering—the subtle variations in colour from deep charcoal to soft lavender tones—and the characteristic tufted crest that crowns this flightless bird's head.
As Australia's largest native bird and a cultural icon featured on the national coat of arms, emus have roamed the continent for millions of years. This portrait not only captures the bird's physical characteristics but also conveys its spirited essence and the touch of mischief that makes these birds so endearing despite their imposing size.
The perfect addition to any nature lover's collection or an ideal gift for those who appreciate Australian wildlife art.
