This elegant composition depicts two peacocks with open tail feathers and one smaller bird positioned beneath. The engraving balances decorative appeal with ornithological detail, capturing the intricacy of plumage and posture with sensitivity.

Wenceslaus Hollar (1607–1677) elevated animal studies through a blend of scientific observation and Baroque artistry. His bird engravings were admired both as scientific records and as objects of visual beauty.
