Ruffed Grouse Illustration - Natural History Drawing #126118 (License: Personal Use)

This precise black-and-white line drawing captures the ruffed grouse in profile, emphasizing its prominent erectile crest, intricately barred chest and flanks, and scaled leg feathers. The artist uses cross-hatching and fine linework to convey texture and dimension, typical of 19th- or early 20th-century natural history illustrations. The bird stands grounded, suggesting readiness for movement or display.
