About the Item
This illustration features a bird labeled "Colombe naine, mâle," which translates to "Dwarf Pigeon, male."
Description of the Print:
- The bird is depicted perched on a small branch, showcasing its vibrant green plumage. The feathers on the back and wings exhibit a pattern of yellow and green, while the belly and tail feathers have shades of yellow and green as well. The bird has a distinctive patch of grey on its neck, adding contrast to its predominantly green body. The feet are pink, and the beak is yellow, completing the colorful appearance.

About the Artists:
**Nicolas Huet (1770–1830)**:
- A renowned French natural history illustrator.
- Known for his precise and lifelike depictions of birds and other animals.
- Contributed significantly to various ornithological publications of his time.
**Jean Gabriel Prêtre (1768–1849)**:
- A Swiss-born natural history painter who worked primarily in France.
- Recognized for his detailed and accurate representations of zoological and botanical subjects.
- Collaborated with many leading naturalists and illustrated numerous scientific works.
Habitat of Dwarf Pigeons:
- Dwarf pigeons, also known as green pigeons or Treron species, are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and Africa.
- These birds inhabit forests, woodlands, and areas with abundant fruiting trees, as they primarily feed on fruits.
- They are often seen in the canopy, where they blend in with the foliage due to their green plumage, making them well-adapted to their environment.
This print, part of the "Nouveau recueil de planches coloriées d'oiseaux" published in 1838, showcases the detailed and scientifically accurate work produced by Huet and Prêtre, reflecting the high standards of ornithological illustration in the 19th century.
