Simply wonderful. Among the best portraits of birds ever painted" (Wood).
"One of the finest painters at work in the first half of the 19th century" (Jackson).
Traviès' artistry represents a pinnacle in French ornithological illustration. The minute precision of Traviès' work places him with the best of France's scientific artists. Unlike a number of his contemporaries, he was an artist both with the brush and on stone. One of the few plates by Traviès devoted to birds of North America.
