Phasianus Versicolor - Female 

This detailed, hand-colored engraving by William Home Lizars, a Scottish artist active in the 19th century, depicts a female "Phasianus Versicolor", also known as a Lady Amherst's Pheasant. The artwork showcases the intricate details of the bird's plumage, capturing the vibrant colors and patterns of its feathers. The pheasant is perched on a branch, set against a distant landscape featuring a village and a prominent building reminiscent of a palace or mosque. This adds a touch of exoticism to the composition, reflecting the allure of distant lands prevalent in scientific illustrations of the era.
