Vintage Engraving of a Pigeon - Scientific Illustration & Art Reference #3581350 (License: Personal Use)

This meticulously rendered black-and-white line illustration depicts a pigeon in left-facing profile, with precise cross-hatching to convey feather density, gradation, and form. The bird’s head features a sharply defined eye, smooth beak, and subtle neck plumage transition, while the body shows layered wing coverts, soft underbelly shading, and articulated talons. The tail feathers taper elegantly, ending in fine, dark tips.
