Description

Drawing depicting: Nymphicus hollandicus -- Cockatiel. Alternate name on piece: Nymphicus novae-hollandiae [Cockatoo parrakeet]

Note

Fine watercolor of one bird; color is puzzling, since the tail seems to be that of a male, while the head marking very closely resembles that of the female in the published plate; different composition. Previously cited as GS7 or 7GS, and so marked in pencil on the reverse.
