Vintage Illustration of a Pigeon - Natural History Art #3581352 (License: Personal Use)

This finely detailed lithograph depicts a rock dove in profile, perched gracefully on a lichen-covered branch. The bird’s plumage shows rich gradations-from slate-gray head and back to purplish breast, white underparts, and distinctive black-and-white wing bars-with iridescent green and pink feathers around the neck. Its bright orange eye, pale beak, and vivid red feet add lifelike contrast against the textured branch.
