Columba gymnophthalmus is a notable lithograph created by the renowned British artist and ornithologist Edward Lear. This work is part of Lear's larger body of work that significantly contributed to the field of ornithological illustration during the 19th century. Edward Lear, who is often celebrated for his literary nonsense and limericks, also made substantial contributions to natural history through his detailed and scientifically accurate illustrations of birds.

Lear's lithograph of Columba gymnophthalmus, commonly known as the Bare-eyed Pigeon, showcases his exceptional skill in capturing the intricate details and natural beauty of avian species. The Bare-eyed Pigeon, native to regions in the Caribbean, is depicted with meticulous attention to its distinctive features, such as its bare skin around the eyes and its subtle plumage variations. Lear's ability to render these details with precision not only highlights his artistic talent but also his dedication to scientific accuracy.

The lithograph was produced during a period when ornithological illustration was a crucial tool for the study and classification of bird species. Before the advent of modern photography, detailed illustrations like Lear's were essential for ornithologists to document and share their findings. Lear's work, including Columba gymnophthalmus, was highly regarded by his contemporaries and continues to be valued by modern scholars and collectors for its artistic and historical significance.

Edward Lear's contributions to ornithology extend beyond his illustrations; his work helped to popularize birdwatching and the study of birds among the general public. His lithographs were often included in scientific publications and ornithological books, making them accessible to a wider audience. Today, Lear's Columba gymnophthalmus remains a testament to his dual legacy as both an artist and a naturalist, reflecting the intersection of art and science in the study of the natural world.
