This stunning watercolor illustration depicts the Red-billed Blue Magpie, Urocissa erythrorhyncha, from the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China. Painted in the nineteenth century, this Large Series plate 8 captures the vibrant beauty of this Asian passerine bird. The Red-billed Blue Magpie is a striking creature, with its long, grey body contrasting against its iridescent blue wings and red beak. In this illustration, the bird is perched gracefully on a branch, displaying its plumed tail and showing off its distinctive belly markings. The attention to detail in the anatomy of the bird is remarkable, with each feather and contour rendered with exquisite care. The Red-billed Blue Magpie is a member of the Corvidae family, and is native to the forests of Asia.
