About the piece
Drawn in 1827 by Hércules Florence during his scientific expeditions in Brazil, this watercolor study serves as an exquisite example of early 19th-century naturalist art. The piece meticulously documents the textures of plumage and the anatomy of a raptor's foot, accompanied by Florence's original handwritten field notes in French.
