7322 Frederick de Wit (c. 1629–1706) – Studies of Parrots and Cockatoos – Engraving
A detailed engraving on a single sheet, featuring two separate studies of parrots. The upper image depicts a cockatoo perched on a branch, its crest slightly raised. The lower section shows a different species of parrot also on a branch. The illustrations are rendered with careful line work and shading, capturing the texture of the feathers and the forms of the birds with precision typical of natural history plates from this period.

While best known for his world atlases and detailed decorative maps, his publishing firm produced a wide range of works.
