Sacred Ibis Illustration - Detailed Vintage Scientific Drawing #141090 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white ink illustration depicts a sacred ibis (Threskiornis aethiopicus) in side profile, highlighting its distinctive downward-curved bill, feathered neck, and robust legs with splayed toes. The artist uses fine cross-hatching to render texture in the wings, back, and tail feathers, evoking 19th-century natural history engravings. The composition isolates the bird against a clean white background, emphasizing form and biological detail.
