About the Item

This engraving, titled *Anas Aegyptiaca - L’Oie d’Égypte* (Egyptian Goose), depicts the Egyptian goose, scientifically known as *Alopochen aegyptiaca*. The artist is Nicolas Maréchal, and it was engraved by S.C. Miger, both active in the early 19th century. The Egyptian goose was revered in ancient Egypt and often appears in Egyptian art.
