A Selection of John Gould's Bird Prints

The image shows three birds by a body of water: two in the water and one in flight above. The horizon is visible at the top with distant lands and reeds. The birds appear sleek, with a smooth texture, and the color scheme includes muted greens, grays, blues, and a hint of warm yellow in the sky. More reeds and grass are seen in the background along the water's edge, with the water reflecting the surrounding colors.
John Gould, H.C. Richter, Hydrochelidon nigra, hand-colored lithograph on wove paper, Collection of Dr. and Mrs. George Benjamin Green, 1991.163.52
