This reproduction of an antique print represents the Argus pheasant (Argusianus argus), a bird from the pheasant family. The subject is depicted from behind, showcasing its spectacular and deployed tail, characteristic of the species. The chromatic rendering relies on shades of brown, ochre and black, carefully restoring the elegance of the plumage in a stripped-down setting.
Extracted from the prestigious Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle by Charles d'Orbigny, this engraving illustrates the excellence of mid-19th-century scientific popularization. The author's intention was to offer a precise vision of world avifauna through faithful and aesthetic representations.
This documentary piece is sought after for its iconographic and historical value. It is perfectly suited for those wishing to build a collection of naturalist images or integrate an ancient ornithological reference into their environment.
