Description
A vividly colored pheasant with a red face, green neck, and spotted brown body is depicted in the foreground of the lithograph, while a more subdued female pheasant stands in the background, displaying mottled brown plumage for camouflage. Above them, on a rocky outcrop, a small bird is watching over the scene. The illustration, labeled "Phasianus torquatus", captures the elegance of these birds in their natural habitat, embodying the detailed ornithological artwork typical of the 19th century.
