Wood Ibis, Scarlet Ibis, Flamingo, and White Ibis

Amerikanische Grafik 1765–1814, pubblicato nel 1808–1814

This is a drawing of various bird species along a body of water. The drawing portrays four birds standing on the ground next to water, with grasses around them. The birds are distinct, with unique colors and features. On the left stands a large bird with white plumage, gray-blue face, and long, yellow legs and bill. The two central birds are flamingos, one vibrant red with a prominent beak, and the other also red, bent over. To the right, a smaller white bird with subtle black and red accents stands with its long bill slightly curved. In the background, a lake stretches out, bordered by a horizon of distant land under a sky with clouds.
