Elegant depiction of two palmiped birds:

  • Black Swan (*Cygnus atratus*), native to Australia, notable for its dark plumage and red beak.
  • Wild Goose (*Anser anser*), common in Europe and Asia, ancestor of the domestic goose.

This plate by Prêtre (c.1835) beautifully renders the textural contrast between the birds with refined hand-coloring.
