Kuhl’s Coriphilus — Edward Lear

A richly colored parrot perches on a curved branch in this nineteenth-century ornithological plate credited to Edward Lear. Deep green wings, golden-yellow accents, a warm reddish-brown breast and face, and a dark crown create a striking profile against the restrained engraved surroundings.

The bird is set within a finely drawn landscape of trees, palms, rocks, foliage, and water. Keeping the environment largely monochrome places emphasis on the saturated plumage while giving the composition depth and atmosphere. The original plate identifies the subject as Coriphilus Kuhlii, described as Kuhl’s Coriphilus and native of Otaheite.
