The Flamingo, 1731 by Mark Catesby
About the artwork
Published between 1731 and 1743 as plate 73 of Catesby's Natural History of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands, this hand-colored engraving depicts an American flamingo standing among bare coral branches along a sandy shoreline. The composition combines naturalist precision with decorative arrangement, a hallmark of Catesby's documentation of New World wildlife for a European audience.
