This vibrant antique engraving shows two spectacular South American toucans: the large Ramphastos toco (Toco Toucan), with its iconic oversized orange bill, and the Pteroglossus castanotis (Red-breasted Araçari), easily recognizable for its vivid yellow-red-green plumage.

Both are perched on naturalistic branches, rendered with superb chromatic balance and attention to detail typical of Prêtre's works.
