Urocissa magnirostris

John Gould, waarschijnlijk 1850/1883

This is a painting of a bird perched on a branch with two other birds in flight. The painting showcases a bird with black and white plumage, highlighted by a bold black head and chest, a vibrant yellow beak, and a long tail featuring black and white stripes. The bird is perched on a slender, brown branch adorned with glossy green leaves and pinkish flower buds. Accompanying it are two additional birds in mid-flight, exhibiting similar color patterns with dynamic wing positions. The details and soft pastel background create a harmonious scene. This is in style of John James Audubon.
