"Snipe" by Edouard Travies is a notable work by the 19th-century French artist and ornithologist, Édouard Traviès de Villers (1809–1876), known for his detailed and vivid illustrations of birds and animals. Born in Doullens, France, Traviès was among the pioneering figures in ornithological illustration during a period that saw a burgeoning interest in natural history and the documentation of species through art. His work is characterized by its scientific accuracy combined with artistic finesse, making him a respected figure among both scientists and art connoisseurs of his time.

The piece "Snipe" is part of Traviès's extensive oeuvre that focuses on avian subjects, showcasing his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence and vitality of his subjects. The artwork features the snipe, a bird known for its elusive nature and distinctive appearance, rendered with a level of realism that was groundbreaking at the time. Traviès's method involved observing his subjects in their natural habitat, allowing him to depict them with remarkable accuracy and lifelike quality.

"Snipe" exemplifies Traviès's skill in using color and form to convey the texture of feathers, the bird's posture, and its environment, contributing to the viewer's understanding of the species' characteristics and habitat. His works, including "Snipe," were not only artistic achievements but also contributed significantly to the field of ornithology by providing detailed visual records of bird species, some of which were poorly understood at the time.
