The artwork is part of his renowned collection titled "Watercolour Drawings of British Animals" (1831-1841), which beautifully depicts various species found in nature. The European goldfinch, scientifically known as Carduelis carduelis, takes center stage in this ornithological masterpiece. Its vibrant plumage and delicate features are meticulously portrayed, showcasing MacGillivray's keen eye for detail and love for wildlife.
