"Plate 167 Key-west Dove" is a hand-colored engraving from John James Audubon's renowned "Birds of America" series. Audubon, a celebrated ornithologist and painter, meticulously captured the intricate details of the Key West Dove, showcasing its plumage, posture, and habitat with lifelike precision. The artwork's vibrant colors and realistic depiction of the bird amidst lush foliage highlight Audubon's mastery of naturalism. The work is a testament to his dedication to documenting the beauty and diversity of the avian world.
