The Yellow and Black Pye (Oriolus Icterus)

Mark Catesby, published 1731–1743

The image shows a bird perched on an onion-like bulb in the foreground, with large, pointed flowers and elongated green leaves appearing in the background. The bird has vibrant yellow and black plumage with blue legs and beak, while the flowers are primarily white and green with hints of brown. A small insect with blue wings is positioned to the right and slightly below the bird. The composition is centered, with the plant extending upwards and the bird situated to the lower left, facing towards the right side where the insect is located.
