Trogan variegatus

John Gould, probabilmente 1836/1838

The artwork is a vertically oriented, detailed illustration featuring three birds perched on branches with leaves and buds. The bird at the top is positioned on a branch extending from the right, displaying a pinkish belly, dark blue head, and green back. Its wings and tail show intricate black and white patterns. Below, two more birds are perched on a branch that extends diagonally across the image. The left bird has a dark head and green back, with a pink underbelly and detailed tail feathers. The right bird, facing upward, has a blue head, green back, and pink belly. The background is a soft, muted tone, providing contrast to the colors of the birds. The names "J. Gould & H. C. Richter del. et lith." and "Walter Imp." are visible at the bottom, along with the title "Trogon variegatus, Spix."
