This 19th-century print, created by the firm of Joseph Scholz, depicts a family of partridges, with two adult birds and their chicks. The print is characteristic of 19th-century natural history illustrations, employing a precise and detailed style to accurately represent the birds' plumage and posture. The use of bright colors and the inclusion of a natural background adds visual appeal and provides context for the subjects. The inclusion of the scientific names "Perdrix," "Rebhühner," and "Patrijs" further emphasizes the educational purpose of the print, likely intended for audiences interested in ornithology or natural history. The print is currently held in the Rijksmuseum collection.
