Urocissa cucullata (Kappenkitta)

John Gould, wahrscheinlich 1850/1883

This is a painting of several birds perched on branches amidst foliage and flowers. The painting depicts a main bird with striking black, white, and grey plumage standing atop a branch with its long, striped tail feathers cascading down. The bird has a vibrant yellow beak and is surrounded by lush, green leaves and delicate, light-colored flowers. Below, another bird of similar markings appears perched on a lower branch. Additional flora, including more leaves and flowers, enhance the naturalistic setting. This is in the style of John James Audubon, reflecting his detailed and lifelike portrayal of avian subjects.
