The subject of this original drawing is the royal vulture, also known as Sarcoramphus papa, a great bird of Central and South America. This bird lives mainly in the lowland tropical forests that extend from southern Mexico to northern Argentina, although some think that the ''painted vulture'' described by William Bartram in Florida belongs to this species.
