John Gould,

This painting shows three small birds in a natural setting. Two birds have blue and brown plumage, while the third bird has uniformly brown and speckled feathers. The birds are situated in an area with grass and bare earth. The setting includes grass blades and other flora under a clear sky. The style is similar to John Gould's detailed ornithological illustrations.
