The detailed depiction of the bird’s vibrant plumage, blending shades of purple, green, brown, and white, reflects the meticulous artistry and scientific observation of Johann Michael Seligmann. Published as Plate "Tab. C" from Seligmann’s *Sammlung verschiedener ausländischer und seltener Vögel* (Collection of Various Foreign and Rare Birds), this piece integrates designs by George Edwards and combines Latin and French inscriptions to emphasize its Enlightenment-era significance. A delightful addition to any natural history or ornithological collection, this print showcases the confluence of art and science during the 18th century.
