The artwork “Indian Peacock“ by Charles d’Orbigny, created in the late 19th century, exemplifies his skill in natural history illustration. This piece beautifully portrays the Indian peacock (Pavo cristatus), renowned for its stunning and colorful plumage. D’Orbigny’s keen eye for detail is showcased in the vibrant, lifelike depiction of the bird’s feathers, which are richly colored and intricately designed. This work aligns with his broader contributions as a naturalist, where his art combined scientific precision with artistic creativity. Originally published in the 1849 Dictionnaire Universel d’Histoire Naturelle, the print serves as both a scientific reference and an appealing decorative item for nature enthusiasts and collectors, reflecting the era’s fascination with nature and ornithology.
