The print, measuring 54x67 cm, is part of a private collection and belongs to the series "Illustrations of British Ornithology".

Set in the idyllic outdoor scenery of nineteenth-century England, this artwork transports us back in time. The posture and natural stance of the pheasants convey a sense of grace and elegance as they stand on the ground, looking back at us with curiosity.
