Oriolus monacha (Black-Headed Abyssinian Oriole)

An 18th-century ornithological study by Luigi Balugani, depicting the Black-Headed Abyssinian Oriole perched on a branch above sparse foliage. The artist’s delicate hand and refined colour bring a quiet elegance to this early natural history work. Finished with a sage green printed border for a calm, timeless look.
